Dusted the cobwebs off my old blog and had a read. Fuck, what an interesting experience.
First thing to hit me was how pretentious I was! I mean, I cant tell if I'm the same now, but I can definetly tell that I was then! Wow, just wow...
However, I shouldnt lie. I was happy with some of the stuff I wrote. I did get some one-liners out. And it was interesting to plot my life and the range of emotions I went through during my teenage years. It all seems so trivial in one sense, and not so in another.
The later, mainly because I know I'm still writing in mostly the same way! I know, how insane is that? The thing I havent done that I'm missing was the emotional pen-to-paper pieces I would do. Angry letters to Jacqui about depression and being a hero and so on and so forth - I could really feel those emotions again.
For the most part though; it was remember how awesome Chris and Kyle are. I can't believe that: 1. Those guys LISTENED to me when I was such a pretentious youth and 2. That the responses they gave were so amazingly insightful.
I had to SMS Kyle after I read an old MSN convo we had. God it broguht a smile to my face :D we talked so big! And yet, while that has changed slightly, our jokes are IDENTICAL. That made me happy, and calm, and so much better.
I msg'd Kyle about how awesome he is. Hope he realizes it.

Bacon
You know, they say cake is the new food of the internet. Portal-related jokes and such have created a semi food monopoly on the interwebs, but I think bacon is being seriously underrated as a universal online foodstuff.
Therefore, I am going to try and find as many bacon-related memes as possible. I think I'll keep this one progessing over time as I find things:
First cab off the rank is from the ever-popular xkcd.com
This was a popular meme I found on Facebook, but I have seen it graffiti'd on ACTUAL hand-dryers! While there are many variations on this particular one, the only I liked was this one:
...self-explanitory I reckon.
A bit too math-ey for me, but still worthy of being placed!
Not really a bacon meme as such, but I can NEVER miss an oppertunity to upvote a lolcat.
More to come...
Housebound
At the present, as well as the last couple of days, I've been a house cat. A 'nothing-to-do puppy' (may as well be bipartisan to the pet factions).
Fuckin hell, I forgot what it's like to be stuck in a house with nothing to do. The copious video games + reading + internet have pacified and nullified my mind. It makes me feel slow and gross, like I'm living life by struggling through a mud-pit.
It would be easy for me to escape. I could call up somebody or go out or go for a drive or even just BUY something for fuck's sake! Give into materiealism - it always works! But no, I can't seem to drag myself out of the schlocking quicksand that I've placed myself in. It reminds me of that experiement they did with the rat - where they gave a rat in a cage a button that when pressed released pleasure. The rat pressed the button until it died.
The only difference is there isn't any pleasure. The melancholy takes care of that. It's actually sort of Romantic that I'm feeling melancholic. It seems like such a Reinassance emotion, not really felt nowadays. But of course, it is, we just give it different names. Still, there is a certain charm to feeling melancholic. The only problem is that I can't appreciate it due to the melancholy! Ha!
It's Megan. I miss her more then I should. For the last three months she has been my life. I've seen her basically every day; and when we miss a day, it is a subject of such discussion between us as to how weird it feels.
I'm not going to pretend that I have felt this way about somebody before. She makes me not want to see anyone outside of her. I dont feel like going out with friends, unless she comes along. Not all the time, lets not get too melodramatic, but with much more frequency then I've ever heard mentioned by others.
She seems to feel the same, which is good. But that's the thing about Meg and I - being of similar natures causes me to wonder constantly how much she is feeling me, when she is feeling me, why she is feeling me. I am...hmmm, 'constantly suspicious' seems like a bad way of wording it... lets say 'constantly anyalising'.
Anyways, it's driving me nuts. I want her back in Melbourne
