Welcome to the Realm of the Barmy... more affectionately known as my profile.

I'm sure you all want to know all about me, the Magnificent Me!

(silence, except for Chirpy the little cricket)

You have as much enthusiasm as I do on sports day.

Anyway I have no name (I do, but I go by my middle name, which is absent on my birth certificate... I don't have one)

I am sixteen next week, which makes me twevle now.

I enjoy maths. As you can tell by the previous statement.

No, I don't like maths, but I do love English. If i could, I would have a timetable of just English, Physics and Modern History. And Biology. No Maths. No Info Processing & Tech.

We've been doing AI in tech. Watched a movie, then got into the ethics of robots with human rights and slavery. Like I said, ethics. Which is all well and dandy, except for the fact that I have no ethics. Smart people are smart, dumb people are dumb. Obese people were not born with seven chins, so it is obviously not genetics. (I apologise if you were born with seven chins, your poor father must have lost a hand during labour. poor mum...) Robots are robots, and if I want one programmed to clean my house it's gonna clean my house. To create something with feelings would be cruel, and so dont create feelings at all, and lets all get on with our lives.

Ethics.

Hate 'em.

We had this question once, in a personal development thing.

If you were immortal, would you take an opportunity to die with the one you loved?

I can't remember my exact answer but it went something like this:

I don't particularly want to die right now, so I couldn't tell you. However, if I was a movie character, I would make the plot a damnsite more interesting by dying for the one true love of my life.

Needless to say, I got told that I had a bad attitude.


I used to be a huge fan of Harry Potter, but now I laugh at people who can't live without it. It's pretty sad actually. I laugh at people who cant live without it, and I write fanfiction. One womans like "It'll be hard, but we'll get over it, we'll move on and be strong." She was carrying on like someone had died! I heard that they set up Kid's Helplines incase Harry did die in the seventh book. (for those of you who havent read it yet... the answer remains unknown... my mum flipped to the back while we were waiting to pay and read the crucial bit where Harry screams that he loved Ginny, and how could Voldemort kill Ginny, Ginny was the only one that he loved, and Voldemort dies of a broken heart because he thought him and Harry had something special going on... oh I'm sorry... did i spoil it for you... terribly sorry! WARNING DH SPOILERS WERE IN THAT SENTENCE!!) Honestly, what would a person on the other end of one of those helplines say...

"What was your relationship like with Harry Potter?"

"I loved him like a brother. He was my light! This should teach me not to put my trust into a completely fictional character. I HATE YOU ALICE IN WONDERLAND!! PETER PAN IS A LIAR!! AND HARRY POTTER IS AN EGOTISTICAL, SELF-CENTRED GIT FOR DYING!!" sob sob sob

"Oookaay... errrr... do you think that you will ever be able to look at anything Harry Potter related without it hurting?"

"Nah... the sixth movie should be out soon... I'll just count down and obsess about that till then."

The wonderful Phoenix4life sent me this scenario, which I found insanely amusing... then again, my daily source of amusement is watching my school captain's eyebrow. Her left eyebrow raises, and she tilts her head to the side a little, making her look like a used car dealer. I feel like saying 'Whats the best price you can do me on this one eh?' Seriously, her eyebrows are like this:

OO

The OO are her eyes btw, in case my mega super diagram was a tad confusing.

anyway, this scenario made he giggle

Helpline Operater: Marie, I know you care about Harry very much like a member
of your family but you do realise that he is a fictional character and
therefore not real.

Marie: No! You lie! Harry is real! Magic is real! You'll see. Just wait until
my 11th birthday when I get my Hogwarts letter. (Slams phone down)

Helpline Operater(Looking at camera,Shaking head sadly): There are just some
people you can't help.


Quotes (because everyone seems to have them on their profile)

"Doesn't that just sum up Christmas? You go through all those presents, and right at the end, tucked away at the bottom, theres always stupid old satsuma. Who wants a satsuma?" (The Doctor, Doctor Who)

"For most of history, anonymous was a woman"

"There's more to be seen than can ever be seen... there's more to do; no hold on... sorry, thats Lion King." (The Doctor, Doctor Who)

"A true hero wears his jocks on the outside." (Anonymous)

sings "Coz all you people are vampires"... look of dawning comprehension "Oh my effing god! That explains it!"

"Simple Plan have done a great favour to me. Oh yes. When Jess (my sister) got their album, I got myself the noise cancelling headphones I've always wanted." Moi

"Man's greatest asset is his brain. Unfortunately, men place such a high value on their brain that they never use them, lest they break them with the thought process." Anon

"I am not amused."

"Argh! The clock moved!" (think about that one)

“As for who is mad, I suspect we all are. Although I can’t decide who is more so: Potter or Black.” Snape from Backward with Purpose by AlianneOfTortall

Sports day next week. After practise QCS. Can't say as I'm pumped. I mean, I like running and all that, it's just, my friends like, champion runner, runs for QLD and soon Australia, and she whoops my arse. No fair! ;)

So i sit on the sidelines going "RUN YOU STUPID GIRL!! THEYRE GAINING ON YOU!! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!! THAT LITTLE GIT JUST PUT HIS TOE IN MY LANE!! ARE YOU BLOODY BLIND KID? THERES A WHITE LINE FOR A REASON! HURRY UP!! RUN MY PRETTY! RUUUUUUUUUUN"

Soccer mum syndrome I beleive it's called.


I give up. Reviews are for people who have something to say. Apparantly eight thousand, six hundred and twenty four people have nothing to say in a review. I'm just gonna assume that I made 8624 people speechless... for other authors experiencing my pain of being review-neglected, I suggest you take up the Kirsty Philosphy. (suggested by the wonderful Kirsty)

But to my lovely reviewers, thankyou muchly. I really appreciate you taking the time to review. It makes me feel happy.

I don't cry crimson anymore.

Hello!

Bit of bad news, depending on how you look at it.

Fixing Destiny sucks. I just can't write it, and it has more open plot lines than HBP.

So, this is not my notice of quitting, but my notice of possible, probable giving up.

Because, as it is, I have been bitten by a new plot bug bunny thing. (actually, this one took the form of a giant killer wasp)

And yes, my new plot killer wasp thing has been written down, and when exam block is over, hello paper and pen!

So this is my update, to everyone

Fixing Destiny has been put on the sidelines.

Keep watching for Forget the World.


02/07/08

I'm so effing slack.

I've actually written several chapters of my new fic, and Fixing Destiny, but i just can't be arsed to type them up.

Usually I just type as I go, but i thought 'nothing like old pen and paper to get the creative juices flowing.'

and it did.

Okay... if anyone has seen Black Books (and if you haven't, don't talk to me) then i am like Bernard.

Not in the sense that I am constantly pissed, but that I just do not want to do anything, except read. and drink, but that's entirely beyond the point.

So, when I am no longer nihilistic, I'll do something, but until then... you can all sod off.

Well not really, but just don't read my fics... they suck, and I'll edit them later.

For now, toodles... I hope you enjoyed my profile more than I do sports days. (I mean, you could despise my profile, hate it more than George Bush, want to nuke it, and my hatred for sports day would win.)
