I'm investigating in hypnotism

 so I can try and hypnotize dad to let me turn the garage storage room into my music recording studio, because all that equipment doesn't fit in my room, it has to be put away; and I'm starting to get fed up with using SIBELIUS for everything, It really hates me. But I have no room to get my MIDI stuff out, unless I am allowed to use the garage storage room, to which dada says definitely NOT.

So, Hypnotism.......

TEN REASONS WHY I DON'T CARE ABOUT NOT GETTING A DATE FOR THE FORMAL

10) I'm not getting a last minute date who I have never met before.

9) I'd just get more wear on my brand new $120 calvin klein black satin dinner jacket

8) I'm a geek. Geeks don't go to formals unless by accident, having gotten the wrong address or whatever for that star wars convention etc they meant to attend instead.

7) The last time I "slow danced with a guy" (At junior primary school, but still) , I fell asleep.
(Another reason that swing music at formals is not such a bad idea)

6) The gossip-worshipping couture found at such events, and the probable outcome of me bringing a boy to said event would most likely result in a replay of the "salmon" fiasco

5) It's probably going to be on a friday night, which would mean I would have to miss chess club; something I can't possibly ever skip, it's my favorite part of the week

4) Introducing my "boyfriend" to the PRINCIPAL at the DOOR

3) The guilt of knowing the torment and alienation my date will have to endure; namely my parents, who always treat boys like possible husbands; as well as talking to them in a tone only suitable for the very dimmest of five year olds

2) Who cares?

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON I DON'T CARE ABOUT NOT GETTING A DATE TO THE FORMAL:

1) Society.
But that's not really why I'm pretending I don't care.
 But as I fall asleep writing this, I'm going to admit; with the consequence that I'm not going to realize the outrageously TOO OPEN stuff I'm writing until tomorrow, when it will definitely be too late; that:
I care about not having a date to the formal!
And I feel horrible!
There. I said it.
Now why don't I feel any better.....?

Incredibly awesome is.....

The fact that in the week this blog has been in existence,  almost one hundred (ninety six to be exact) people have viewed this bog, usually from Facebook referrals; and by people from all around the world, mostly NZ and malaysia.
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
:D

I just watched this movie called "ON A CLEAR DAY" with the consequence that I...

...AM THINKING ABOUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF RE-INCARNATION, and just as a personality thing, I was wondering what sort of past lives I would have had.  I can definitely imagine, so I'll write a mini novel thing about it, and then get back to you.

:D

This is not a useless post

OK, it is, I'm just writing to say that I will be posting more after lunch? Ok.

THE PRINCESS DIARIES

THE NAME IS misleading, and although there are very small, unnoticeable warnings on the reverse of the later books, these more recent books have adult content that is severely damaging to the minds of the innocent children (12 and under, that is to say) who read them because of the name, which is, to say the least, slightly young-girl -y.
Just a little...odd....of that sort of content, to be in there.

Sometimes, it is a good idea to keep my mouth shut

BECAUSE ACCORDING TO ME (obviously) I just can't seem to realize when I am being overly confusing. Usually, because I am half asleep. So perhaps next time something irritating like being half asleep-during a good conversation with a real person-happens, it might be wise for me to wake myself up and look at what I've typed (and WHY) before I send it.

What not to do in a library:

PLAY YOUR IPOD without realizing that your ipod speakers are in your bag, full volume, plugged into your ipod, and ON.


especially if you think it's coming from your headphones, until 5 minutes later, following some annoyance from people reading, you discover that it's not your headphones plugged in, its the speakers, and everyone can hear the GLEE music you're listening to.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

DIAGNOSING EARTH'S AMBIGUOUS FLAWS

I think, If we could only worry less about what other people think about us, which we frequently do, and stop thinking things about the styles and differences of our fellow human beings, we'd be a whole lot happier. Just a general thought. Now I am dreadfully tired, and so must go to- oh good lord, it two o'clock in the morning. BED.  :D

I Learned Something Today!

It turns out that people (adults, mostly) can really get kind of annoyed if the just happen to see a laser in the room with them. NOT at them, even. Truly, I wasn't pointing it in anyone's eyes. I swear. But what is it about just seeing the point of a laser somewhere far, far away from you, that would cause you to get up and  tell some other snivelley old library lady about it? I wasn't being silly with the laser,  I was just randomly pointing it at the ceiling. Some people just need to Get Over It.
Apparently, lasers are now banned in schools.......   :o

OUTRAGEOUS ACTS OF WILDLIFE MASSACRE

RECENTLY A 7-GILLED SHARK and a couple of stingrays happened to come floating innocently into our harbor. Don't worry, swimmers and kayakers- thanks to the marvelously speedy hunting of the marine life "caregivers",  these practically harmless animals were caught, brought to the aquarium, and then killed- so that kind, curious people like you, citizens of dunedin,  can watch them being basically hanged, drawn and quartered, for your entertainment. 
Thank you for having such compassion, all at the aquarium. The shark is probably extremely supportive of your actions. NOT.

Sarah, Abbey, and the RADIOACTIVE NAIL POLISH

Me and my friend Abbey went shopping today, and a couple of the items we purchased from a certain store set me thinking.                                                         *[The below article is completely speculated.]


SOMETIMES I WONDER If the items in the infamous One-Two-Three Dollar Shop have really passed the consumer safety trading laws? Surely things such as high-intensity lasers, piano wire and radioactive nail polish cannot have been knowingly admitted into this country? Could these mysterious unknown suppliers have used high-tech smuggling techniques without our knowledge? This is a suspicion that needs to be investigated thoroughly, or who knows what they'll be putting up for sale next....


*P.S. We bought some of this "glowing pretty" nail polish, and it is quite funky, even with the safety hazards it probably has. On the back, though, it appears to be mis-translated:
 "2. Apply to clean, dry face"... is perhaps not the best idea.
Marie Curie must be turning in her grave.


more later.

the ignorance of society

...OF COURSE, you wouldn't expect a whole lot of influence caused by a single reference, statement, even a general theme,  somewhere seemingly ineffectual in the media. But perhaps these little hints- in any direction- have more say in our lifestyle than we're aware of.             "The media has a strong influence on society, both negatively and positively." Says writer Kathy D, in an article for Helium:Society and Lifestyle. "How could it not have an influence, even if it's to provoke thought? The media is all around us and what surrounds us, will have an effect in some manner."

But is is only what we're aware of that influences us? According to Dr Bahador Bahrami, of the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and the UCL Department of Psychology, subliminal advertising (still legal in U.S.A.) has more effect than we think.   "What's interesting here is that your brain does log things that you aren't even aware of," says Bahrami.  "There is a brain response in the primary visual cortex to subliminal images that attract our attention -- without us having the impression of having seen anything. These findings point to the sort of impact that subliminal advertising may have on the brain. What our study doesn't address is whether this would then influence you to go out and buy a product.  I believe..... it's likely."

         So how does subliminal advertising work? We know it's effective- so effective that in the.....

NOW THAT I HAVE STARTED THIS BLOG,

I'm not sure what to say.
Oh, here's something: If people are smart enough to start recycling more than just glass and some plastics, WHY can't they NOT put the huge new recycling bins in the dead middle of the sidewalk, of which the bins completely obstruct?!?!?!
