Cappuccino Psychology…

Monday, April 21st, 2008 | everyday, something | 2 Comments
Probably the most common thing I order in a bar is a cappuccino. I love the foamed milk that you get on top. :) In one of my favourite bars you can even order coffee with lots of foam and Milči brings you a cappuccino in a regular cup, full of foam. Hihi… Usually, I just eat the foam off with a spoon, that’s how it’s supposed to be done, if you ask me. :p

But I noticed that when I’m having a bad day, I mix the foam with the coffee. It makes me feel better. Associations

Old.

I discovered something really horrible today. It’s right up there in my top five with nuclear warfare, a bacteria that’d create zombies, power outage and running out of chocolate. I found a gray hair. On MY head! I haven’t even gotten to terms with growing up, much less getting gray hair.

Nature’s payback, I guess.

Happy birthday, honey. =*

Just Like Heaven…

Saturday, April 12th, 2008 | music | No Comments

I just noticed that Katie Melua covered one of my favourite songs, Just Like Heaven by The Cure. When she sings it, it’s all cute and soft and fuzzy… The Cure have a more honest tone to it, more energy - less pillow-talk. I like the original version better.

Love And All That Jazz…

I have a question, again. If any of you watch Battlestar Galactica then you will know that when a Cylon dies, it’s consciousness is uploaded to a new body. Now, imagine that in the future (a sci-fi future, if you will, but never the less) you could do the same, have your consciousness uploaded to an android body, thus making yourself immortal. Or if you could modify your body with artificial non-organic substances to prevent it from getting old or malfunctioning. (A weird word to use for your body, I know.)

If love, and any other feeling, is a chemical process in your body, what happens if you really do transfer your mind to a machine vessel? What does that make of love?

Bitch…

Sunday, April 6th, 2008 | bitch | No Comments
Yes. I am occasionally a bitch. As Lastie will kindly explain (When I introduce you to her and at every other chance she will ever get… In context or, preferably not.) that I really am a bitch.

This is why:

When I was in 5th grade, we went on a school ski trip for a week. Apparently it’s necessary for everyone to know how to ski. It needs to be said that Lastie was from a parallel class, she was 11, like me and had 1m long orange hair. I didn’t particularly like her. Like I said, a bitch. Her hair were wet and she had no hairdryer. (Or something… Who washes their hair when they’re in a hurry, without having a hairdryer?) She comes knocking on our cottage door asking me if she can borrow mine… I’m a bit hazy on the details, but apparently I said no.

That’s why I’m a bitch.

We became friends about 2 years later and I’ve been listening about that ski trip ever since. (And so has everyone we both know.) I’m a bitch sometimes and she loves me anyway. :)

Awwwww.

Playing Tag…

Sunday, April 6th, 2008 | everyday, something | No Comments
Well, here it is, after many complaints. The new look. I’m not quite happy with the fonts, but it will have to do. I suck with colour schemes.

Anyway, I got tagged by Ling:

=====

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Loss of trust, I’m guessing. Throw a tantrum.

2.What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?
Explain that I don’t share the same feelings… What else is there to do?

3. What will your dream wedding be like?
Uhm… The first three times somebody asked me that, “I never thought about it.” was a perfectly valid answer, now it seems kinda silly, after so many opportunities to think about it, I mean. I still haven’t though. Sorry. Are you sure marriage is what you want it to be anyway? With the divorce rate and everything…

4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
Curious… Not that confused.

5. What’s your ideal lover like?
Something between Willie Wonka, JRR Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Neo, Hansi Kursch and Peter Petrelli. :p My honey comes pretty close though. :)

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?
… Neither, if it’s not mutual, really.

7. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?
No, I’d try to get over it… I’m not really fond of the whole Petrarca, I-can’t-have-you-but-I-will-love-you-forever-O-glorious-perfection kind of thing.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Get over it. D0ch? :S

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?
Yes.

10. What do you want most in life?
To figure out what I want.

11. Is being tagged fun?
Well, I was bored, so… :)

12. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?
Well, I have good friends, so… not really.

13. Who is currently the most important person to you?
This is kinda like the top 8 on myspace, isn’t it?

14. What kind of person do you think I am?
Intelligent, interesting, amusing, cool to talk to. :)

15. What is the most unforgettable thing/event in your life?
Well… Lots of things. First Blind Guardian concert, first kiss, first real kiss, friends doing stupidly amusing things, that night when there were soooooo many stars, first time reading a Donne poem, first time seeing Monty Python, first time reading HG2G…

16. If the person you secretly like cannot recognise you, what would you do/how would you react?
I’m not really sure what the question’s asking.

17. Would you give your all in a relationship?
Well, if you don’t, what’s the point? Then it’s just a pass time.

18. If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick?
How can you be in love with two people at the same time?

19. What type of friends do you like?
Mine. :) You don’t get them any better than that.

20.If you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would you do?
Laugh? :) April fools ftw.

Big Sisters Know Better…

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 | everyday, rants, something | No Comments

Scenario: We were having a family lunch a few days ago… 20+ people, Grandma’s 80′th Birthday celebration. My sister wasn’t hungry, I’m guessing cause she’s not usually up that early during the weekends, it was 12 in the afternoon.

Me: Want some potatoes?
Sis: No, I’m not hungry.
Me: Put something on your plate anyway.
Sis: I’m not hungry.
Me: Yeah, ok, just put it on your plate, trust me.
Mom: If you don’t, everybody’s gonna bug you why you’re not eating.
Sis: No thanks.
Me: Suit yourself.

[3 minutes later]

Sis: Pass me the potatoes, please.
Me: Told you.
Sis: Yeah, yeah.
Me: Take a small steak too.
Sis: I don’t feel like eating meat.
Me: You don’t have to eat it, just take it…
Sis: Nah.
Me: Ok…

[2 minutes later she takes a steak. I lol.]
Me: Cut it a bit.
Sis: I’m not hungry.
Me: *raised eyebrow* Do we really have to do this again?
Sis: *sis cuts steak* You were right the last two times, I guess you know what you’re talking about.
[Sweet music to my ears. :p]

Procrastination…

You know how sometimes you just can’t sit down and do something? I’ve been putting off writing my speech for months, but I just did it in under two hours. A rather brilliant speech too, from the top of my head… Most of the reference links were only there because they need to be. How much do I rock? :p

Now on to my philosophy paper… Oh god.

Things…

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 | books, everyday, something | No Comments
I remember a line from Sylvia Plath’s Glass Bell Jar. She wrote something like: “There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them.” A hot bubble bath is a bit like a good night’s sleep, things don’t look quite as bad as they did before.

Some sentences just stay with you.
