The 30 Day Challenge - Day 25

Your Day, In Great Detail.

Well, because this day isn't finished, and it's been boring anyway, I'll do yesterday instead.

Saturday, 19 June, 2010

Well. Woke up at Walrus's house at a not-too-early hour. Had Milo cereal for brekkie, got dressed, brushed hair, yadayada. Walked down to the bus stop, got on the bus, met Jordan on the bus, got off bus in Palmy. Went to Downtown cimemas, bought ticket for Get Him to the Greek, met James, James got ticket for The A-Team, James swapped ticket for right movie. Went downstairs, bought junkfood, went into Whircoulls, went back upstairs to cinema. Watched Get Him to the Greek, laughed a fair few times (it was a good film), laughed at Jordan's laughing, left cinema when movie was finished (as is customary). Went back to Whitcoulls, didn't buy anything. Had Burger King for lunch. Walked over to Plaza, spent ages roasting in Marbecks (god it was hot in there). Walked round the Plaza, went to JB Hi-Fi, was happy, left JB Hi-Fi, went to other Whitcoulls, didn't buy anything, went back to JB Hi-Fi, bought Yeah Yeah Yeahs's album Show Your Bones, was happy, left JB Hi-Fi, got searched by security guy at door. Went to KFC and got a cookies 'n' cream Krusher (yum). Walked over to bus stop, didn't catch bus. Got picked up by Jordan's dad. Went back to Jordan's. Hung out there, played Jenga, walked to Video Ezy, walked to stupidly-named fish and chip shop. Got tea at stupidly-named fish and chip shop. Walked back to Jordan's. Ate chips. Watched 9 (the animated one, not the musical one) and liked it. Watched Sherlock Holmes, and went on the computer for awhile during the film. Watched some of Something Something Dark Side, then went to bed. Fell asleep.

Hopefully that's enough detail. :P

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 20

A Hobby Of Yours.

Writing.

I like writing. It counts as a hobby, right??
I'm writing a poem at the mo. But it's probably not great. I'm not great with poetry. Better at prose.
I'll post it when I've finished, because I want to know what people think.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 19

A Talent of Yours.

Well, this is awkward. So I have to say, 'Well, this is my talent, and I'm amazing'. Great. Um, well, I guess I'll just pick an obvious one, which isn't that amazingly wonderful.

Acting.

I mean, I get Es in Drama and I was picked for NSSP, so I must have some talent, right?

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 18

Whatever Tickles Your Fancy.

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

I read a bit of philosophy; especially when I feel a little lost in the world. I've never found a philosopher that I really connect with - I've never read any writings where I believe in all the ideas - but most of Nietzsche is pretty solid, pretty spot-on, in my opinion.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 17

An Art Piece (Painting, Drawing, Sculpture etc).

A painting by Matthew Gray Gubler, who is primarily an actor, but who is also a rather weird artist. This is from his webpage (we're talking literally one page), which is here. It's got heaps of these crazy drawings, paintings, all sorts; and they're all kinda weird and a bit trippy, but I really like them. They're cool, because they're a bit messy and they're not perfect, but that's what makes them interesting.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 16

A Song That Makes You Cry (Or Nearly).

Hurt, by Johnny Cash.

I know, I know. But it is one hell of a sad song, y'know? The Sweets by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs also gets me, because of how I felt when I first heard it, and - as silly as this sounds - that I'm Blue ("I'm blue, baba-dee, baba-di!") song makes me really sad too, beacuse it reminds me of being a kid and never worrying about anything.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 15

Man, I haven't been on fanfiction.net in aaaaages.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 14

A Photo of You Taken Recently.

Not just me, but hey. And does February counts as recent? I guess so. And it's kinds blurry, but that's the computer's fault.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 10

A Photo Taken Of You Over Ten Years Ago.

Jessica is happy with her cookie. Oh no! It's gone! Wheeeeere is it?
...Probably in my tummy.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 9

A Photo You Took.

Just a random photo I took in my room of my little brother Joel with my bowling pin, which my feet were included in. I like it, just because there's something sorta random about it. I mean, you couldn't really plan it. I was just sitting there screwing around with the camera, which was kinda broken, and Joel was keeping me company with his awful comedy routines, and I thought I'd fixed the camera, so I took a photo. And that's it.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 8

A Photo That Makes You Angry/Sad.



I'll admit, that sometimes my brother is a pain in the ass and I would love to bash his brians out with rocks. However, I don't, because I am not a sadistic cold-hearted AWFUL PERSON.
Unfortunately, one day, some people thought that it would be hilarious to chuck rocks at some kid they hardly knew while he was walking home from school, resulting in the above photo - which was taken so that my mum could go to the police, who sorted it out.
Seeing this makes me remember how evil the world we live in is. And although I don't like to believe it, when I see this, it makes me feel that William Golding was right - all human beings are essentially cruel savages.

The 30 Day Challenge - Day 7

A Photo That Makes You Happy.
