Well.

That was... alright. Actually, I think it went pretty good, I still feel happy about the Psych exam. Basically, I could have asked for better essay questions, but the ones that I did - Piaget's views on the Pre-operational child and Cognitive Dissonance, were some of my top 5 or so questions. The Multi-Choice... eh, was a bit wacky, (heehee, wacky).. I don't know how well I did with some of those questions! Ah well. I know I've at the very least passed, so 's all good.
patternsofchaos, I hope the pen worked well if you needed it ^_^ Er, though, pleeease make sures that I get it back... not that I think you'd do anything bad to it but, I have a ridiculous affection for that pen. It has to do with the squidgy plastic bit up the top. Ridiculous, I know. hehe.

Then, after exam, talked to the_icon_of_sin and Robert-from-creative-writing-who-has-redversusblue-shirts. Then lone_one appeared, then went to play halo 2 and be pwned by tattered_pinion, im_the_end and Robert-from-creative-writing. At lone_one's. Buuut lone_one and marxipan_xlii went to have lunch, or some... thing. Yeah.

Then! Went to see Gavin, who had been in Midland for lab-stuffs for Dentisty-things. Apparantly helped out with the polishing-ness of... crowns... maybe... I don't remember what he said... >_<, but yeah, and had the drill, then overrevved it, causing the bit to bend and hit him on the hand/fingers/thumb. He seemed pretty amused, it apparantly has happened before. Funny stuffs. 'N stuff. Then talked and walked and eventually ended up watching Fraiser. It was funnier than I remembered. Oh, and Deal or No Deal. That guy is still annoying, but this girl, who was greedy and had no sense of logic, lost, and so we were amused and happy. Hehe.
Hope nobodys exams went awry because of the Ford-driver-into-semi-trailer incident on the Freeway thismornin'. Funny thing is, I hate driving near those barriers. It hadn't occurred to me that hitting into them could be better than something.

Watched the news. Think that supplying "schoolies" with condoms is wrong. Totally the wrong message. Totally the wrong message. However, street drinking is pretty funny, potentially. Meh. Starting to think it would be terribly funny to go to one of those places where "everyone goes" for leavers. Maybe will one time, and laugh at all the drunken peoples. Hahahaha. (yes, just like that)

Want to draw something. Drew an awesome cartooney-wolf the other day. Want to draw more coolly.

Do, but don't, want to finish Tawny Man trilogy. Will miss the Farseers :(.

Do, but don't, want to see Harry Potter movie. It has drago...

OH MY GOD! I nearly forgot to update about the biggest event of the day:
I saw a dragon dolphin in the river on the way to uni.
It was black.

!!!!!!

Yes, I know you're struck dumb by my awesome... news. Yeah. Wooo!

Uh, I drove home from Rossmoyne in the dark and the rain. I want my licence now, damnit.
My arm is hur

Today's article in the West about how leavers are discussing on the internet ways to avoid the cops, and the sexual shennanigans they are planning to get up to have increased my general cynicism by several notches.

Sorry I kinda... drifted after the exam. I did end up finding my friend after all.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

Yeah, however, discuss it they may... pulling it off while drunk, however... if they can pull that off... power to them (almost)
Sexual shennanigans though anger me. *rolls eyes* I am far too... thingy. Something. I don't like... people. Or something. Grr grr grr. Bleargh.

Nah, it's fine. :)

[penchaft.livejournal.com]

I was more concerned about the spelling.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

hehe ^_^ spelling of drunken leavers/leaver-plans ? *grin* probably quite amusing.

[penchaft.livejournal.com]

Not drunken. Things like "ur going 2 get laid at leavers". I HOPE THEY ALL FAIL ENGLISH AND HAVE TO REPEAT PRIMARY SCHOOL.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

whoah, repeat primary school. That'd be hillarious.... "I wanna get me inter UWA!"
"Well, I'm sorry, kid, but you've failed English, and shown general signs of foolishness... NOW YOU MUST REPEAT PRIMARY SCHOOL! Muwahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaah"

The West is a sensationalist paper that takes the views of a very small minority and passes it off as gospel.

Stick with the Australian.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

It's unfortunate that truly unbiased, objective news reports are an unobrainable dream, huh?

[thenewleafturns.livejournal.com]

All hail the news services, for the very best in infotainment.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

:D infotainment. I like that.

[reaps.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure why attempting to stem the spread of STD's and prevent unwanted pregnancies is 'the wrong message'.

People have the right to determine their own sexual destiny. More importantly, people will have sex. When they want. Not when you want. Denial of this is ridiculous, and only contributes to ingrained sexual guilt, teenage pregnancy and general ignorance of sexual health.

It is not the wrong message to encourage people to practice safe sex. In fact, given the nature of both sex and teenage rebellion, telling people they shouldn't do it makes it more likely that they will do it.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

I suppose. But I don't think... oh well. I just don't approve.. of.. teenagers [stop] [Dot] [dot] [dot]

I didn't really say that I think encouraging safe sex is the wrong message, or if I did, that wasn't my intention. I just don't... like the idea of sex being a casual thing, ever, and "sex at leavers" in those places seems to be suggesting that that's just what it is. Which saddens me. I suppose I don't dissaprove of the supplying of free condoms to leavers as much as I dissaprove of the idea of people having casual sex. Yes. That's my grievance.

[reaps.livejournal.com]

So don't have casual sex?

If you don't like the idea, don't do it. The sex lives of others has next-to-no impact on you, so why does it bother you?

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

I won't.

It bothers me because I see it as something... which is harmful to society in general, and my peer-group in particular. It disturbs me that in some cases sex is something as casual as a hug or kiss. No, horrifies. I think it should be more special and personal. Perhaps one of the strongest signs of committment and love rather than something to do with whomever strikes your fancy at that given moment. I know I'm not going to change anything by saying it, and I'm not likely to pry into anyone's life, find out if they have casual sex, then berate them for it, because that's... invasive. But this is where I write down my thoughts on things. I'm aware that I'm probably prudish. But, that's how I feel.

[reaps.livejournal.com]

Okay.

I disagree with you on pretty fundamental grounds that casual sex is harmful to society, but perhaps not to your circle of friends. Just as with hugs and kisses, there are different kinds of sex that can mean different things. I believe, however, that it is up to the individual to place worth on such acts.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

Hm, fair enough.
Yes, I suppose it is up to the individual. But it dismays me that attitudes are a-changin' in this particular instance.

[reaps.livejournal.com]

Attitudes have a tendency to do that - Psychology should have taught you that, at least :D

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

hehehe. You'd think it would...
Aaaah well, not for want of trying, heh :D

[thenewleafturns.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it will send the wrong message to kids about leavers at all.

If anything it'll be the parents that cause problems with OMG MY CHILD IS WAY TOO INNOCENT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE 17, leading to a whole heap of stupid crap with people yelling "MUST PROTECT THE CHILDREN" on both sides with different meanings.

Gah.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I'm sure that parents will be incredibly unsupportive of this idea, well, at least a few of them.

[thenewleafturns.livejournal.com]

mine would be cheering. but then they're weird.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

hehe ^_^
I'm not sure what mine would do. Probably look all concerned, and then say something like "at least we don't have to worry about Meg" (which I'm not sure whether I find good or... strangely dissapointing)

Oh dear god, I'd love to see what my school has to say about it. I'm sure it'd be hillarious.

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

Hey Reaps, you're totally lame for making my point before I can get online and do it myself.

[elaran.livejournal.com]

As in you haven't watched the other HP movies because you're a book purist? It does have shiny dragons. :D

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

No, I've watched all of them on the first day of launch >_< ... I just haven't really liked any of them, once I got to thinking about it. I always like looking at them, though. They're always very well-made movies. Mmm, hogwarts.
