Apr. 3rd, 2007 04:36 amnow I only have 1 assignment to go!
Yay!
Thankyou, year 12 history - Communist Russia. You helped me crap on about lighting for about 300 words. Really, it means a lot. thanks Lenin. Sorry I didnt' get to you Joseph old pal, but you know nobody really approves of you anyway. You're like the Communist Ben Cousins to Chris Judd. See, everyone likes you, but you do dumb stuff and so people have to be quiet and pretend that they never liked anything you did, even though everyone knows what's going on, whereas Lenin was always a nice guy who was good at what he did, and so everone loves him. Of course you don't actually care what people think of you. You probably think they're out to kill you, chances are high that they actually are out to kill you, so; you kill them first.
And that, kids, is why Stalin is the only vicious dictator that I've studied who died of (if I recall correctly) old age! Because when you're a dictator - most of your paranoid delusions are warranted! And hey, killing off a few people who weren't going to kill you may just give pause to those who are whom you haven't knocked off yet!
No, I don't really like Joseph Stalin. However as ice-hearted dictators go, he did a pretty ace job.

Well, one history presentation down (hell yes ranks in bluff paid off once again! Thanks highschool/Arts degree), one essay abstract down (gogo 1paragraph + Bibliography = Library Website + 30 minutes), one Master Plan to go. Two days.
I'm procrastinating because I've hit one of them thar critical points where you just lean back in your chair and say "Now, this RAIA membership card is a damn fine thing, and I also got an ipod today", and then reflect on the fact that you can't remember the last time you slept for more than four hours a night during the week, then you smirk and think (never sarcastically and always heartfelt) "fuck I love uni."
One bad thing about all this is that more and more I feel the need to swear. And I'm not talking about funny interjections into statements here and there, I'm talking the full on insane stream of expletives for no apparent purpose but to complain about the fact that I've still got five A4 concept drawings and 1 A1 drawing to go, and a whole lot of conflicting advice from tutors.
I mean.. it's kind of funny. The longer I spend at uni (this is my third year - 1 year of Bachelor of Arts + 2xyear of Architecture = 3.... =3 face) the more amusing inventive streams of curses (or even... not inventive2 become.
So yeah I got an iPod today. Because my beloved Zen Neeon 6GB, Lothair, has died. Luckily I can send him off to creative to get fixed/replaced, but the fact remains that I needed an external harddrive. I mentioned this to my parents (the sending away, I didn' t actually ask for anything) and then my dad was all "well, I just got a bonus and... you've been working really hard and we're proud of you" and my mum was all "likewise", so the end result (I'm pretty tired.. I don't really feel like recounting the whole story again srry) was that I got an ipod. It was very nice of my parents. It's a 30gb iPod video.
Lol video. What am I going to put on it?
The Llama Song of course.
By the way I named it iLlama, because I couldn't call it Lothair (because Neeon is Lothair) and I haven't been writing so I dont' haave any more pet protagonists to name it after. I could have called it iHorta for its elegance, however ipods are more of a minimalistic thing than an art nouveau inspired object, so that's entirely unfitting.
I think iLlama is going to stick. Just a warning.
1: RAIA = Royal Australian Institute of Architects (I joined under SONA Student.... Organisation... Nautical... Aardvark... Yeah I forget what SONA stands for. Hehe. Main point is that it cost me $80 to join rather than $400 or something). So yeah. I'm in with the posse now.
2: What was I talking about?
Oh yeah. As awesome as Architecture is, it's really bad for my:
- typing
- vocabulary
- SPELLING. I USED TO BE THE QUEEN AND NOW I AM JUST SOME DUMB PLEBE.
So yeah. Ghan is totally happy today.
Actually no, that's a lie. I'm pretty annoyed that I missed out on my Body Pump class because of incompetent gym staff, but I'll get over that because I'm going tomorrow at 6 instead. Anyone who's interested is more than welcome, it's $8 for UWA sports members (guild members basically) and $10 for non guild members, I do believe. If you happen to be a gym member it's free. So woot and all that jazz.
Photos of Ipod Glory for my own interest tomorrow, watch this space if you feel like it.
This is funny, and I enjoyed typing my reply.
NOW BACK TO WORK
( lollercopterrr: warning - of leviathal (word?) proportions! )
Leviathal, if it doesn't exist, now needs defining: Leviathal, leviathan-like in proportions. Le-vi-ah-thal. squiggles.
