I'm not very eloquent these days. I'm hardly literate at all, I think. I want to be all wise and philosophical and entertaining in my journal entries, but I don't think I'm kidding anyone and least of all myself. My brain is just too fried lately.

Though I have to say it sort of pisses me off when people have the audacity to call students lazy and especially this time of year. Okay, so there are people who don't take it seriously at all and I realise these are probably very visible where they rave around drunk throughout May. But take a trip up to the unis and you'll find almost every available surface occupied by students who sit there from morning till night. They go home, try to sleep and they come back to uni the next morning to do it all over again. Weekends? No such thing. Holidays in May? No such thing. It's all the same these days. It doesn't matter if it's Saturday or Sunday, people still have to read for hours on end. And then when they're finally done they go home for the Summer to work their summer jobs day in and day out so they can afford livingarrangements at uni the rest of the year. Show me anyone else who does this. I'm just saying.

I had pretty physical labour for a couple of summers while working at a nursing home, and don't get me wrong... it's hard work and you get very physically tired, especially after many days in a row at work. And at one point I worked every day for 14 days, and that's more than a 100% employee does. But nothing - nothing - makes me as tired as weeks on end with trying to cram your head with knowledge 6-10 hours a day.

Okay, I didn't even come here to rant. heh.
I come bringing a song, because...well...I feel like it.
It's a recording I did of Autumn Leaves done some months back.

People are so ridiculous when it comes to Eurovision. It's for fun. If you win, great. If you lose, who the fuck cares. It's disappointing for an hour and then life goes on. It's a 'song contest' where it usually just comes down to what catches people attention, not necessarily what's the best composition etc. Sure, the artist may be a good singer, but if the song doesn't stick out in a good way it's not going to get any votes. That's just how it works. People like what they like, and you can't change that.

It annoys the crap out of me that after every Eurovision the sore losers pop out screaming about how ~political~ it is. For years now, British people have been doing this all over youtube and other places. "OMG it's so political. Everyone hates us cause we're so involved in Iraq! That's why we get no points."

WUT?! Who watches Eurovision and thinks about who's involved in Iraq and not?
Newsflash, guys. The reason UK did poorly for a while was that they sent CRAP. In 2003 they sent a duo of some sort that was supposed to be singing, I suppose, but it was so off key it was a suffering to listen to. In 2006 they sent an old guy rapping in a pretend classroom and some kids yelling the chorus at the top of their lungs. It was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen.

And this year, it's the Greek complaining all over the internet. Clearly, it's all political because Greece clearly had the best song and everyone else is just voting strategically.
What the frack kind of political reason is there to not vote for Greece anyway?! "I hate your ancient buildings and your party beaches, 0 votes from me!!"

I can tell you the reason Greece didn't win or get higher up: It was a crappy, repetitive song with the chorus running over and over again, sung by a sleezy looking guy who ripped up his shirt so we got a 'wonderful' male nippleslip. The choreography consisted of him dryhumping an imaginary pole, walking on a threadmill and jumping off it ever 5 seconds.

It's not political, it's called different tastes. People, it's EUROVISION. No one cares about politics when they watch a stupid song contest. Just because one country thinks their song is good, doesn't mean it'll strike a chord with the rest of the countries. And let's face it, much of the so-called block voting comes from the fact that the countries have similar cultures and some of the same people are celebrities in these countries and they speak similar languages. This is only natural, though can be abit annoying.

So, please, internet. Chill out. It's Eurovision. It's a song contest on crack that we all watch for the lulz, and whichever song wins is usually a song that is just catchy or caught people's attention somehow. We all know this isn't a superserious contest based on merit and actual talent.

And for the record: Norway holds the record for most last places and most 0 points in Eurovision, so I know what I'm talking about here. :P

I've come to the point where I need to actually start figuring out what to write my masters thesis on. I need to pick the general area before June, because I need to take a masterscourse on the area this fall and it needs to be registered before June 1st. So, there was an info meeting today and I was hoping it'd clear some things for me, but it didn't really. I need to try and sort out the thoughts I have for all the areas:

(  + and -  )

Okay, it was good to sort the thoughts out, at least. If anything, I see now that language acquisition is completely out of the question.

Quick post to let people know that I have returned!
I have class in an hour and a huge-ass paper to start, so I don't know how happy I am to be back, but...regardless :P

:D

Hey guys!
My parents kind of sprung it on me that we were leaving for our cabin today, so I've been trying to tie up loose ends online before I leave. Hopefully, I haven't forgotten anything major.

I'll see you guys in 4-5 days!
Don't have too much fun without me!

Paper has been conquered and I'm going home!
I'M GOING HOOOOME. \o/
I can't wait. :D:D

Your Ego is Small

You are quite humble. You try not to spend too much time congratulating yourself. You're proud of who you are, but you're also secure. You don't need to brag. You see yourself and others in a pretty realistic way. You appreciate strengths and faults. You respect people and believe that you can learn from them.

I still feel a bit tired, but not nearly as much and not to the point of not having any energy at all. I feel pretty good, except I get tired pretty early in the evening which is unlike me.

In other news I've come up with a plot for the Hermione Big Bang Challenge... aaaand:

1274 / 20000 words. 6% done!

:D :D

Also, please excuse my squeeing:
Football season starts up again tomorrow!
I caaaan't waaait. We're so damn excited :D

Heeeee!

Okay, I really kind of learned abit about myself while taking this test. Which doesn't happen all that often. But I realised that some of the things I actually of want in a partner is the opposite of what I thought I did before actually giving it much thought. Which seems weird. but nonetheless true.
