I'm sure most of you have heard me rant about my Windows computer breaking a few weeks ago somewhere. That was just a general SSD failure and it was still under warranty, so other than a few hundred hours of video game saves that I didn't have backups of there was no great loss. Yesterday I got the computer back bigger and better than ever, boasting an OCZ 256Gb Vertex 4 SSD, 1.8Tb HDD and a shiny new nVidia GTX 670.

Naturally today it had a fit and starts behaving erratically. Something...

After posting lots of crap lately I thought I'd give you all an update on my life that isn't about how much I hate everything. Things have been better in the last few months. I've been happier and because of that people have started liking me more.

Some of you may remember my blog post about that girl earlier in the year. That long and convoluted and ended in her telling me last Tuesday that nothing can happen with us because of the guy she dumped to date me. It turns out that despite...

Last Wednesday was my 4 year OWF anniversary. I was supposed to post this blog then, but I completely forgot amidst being part of a flashmob in the Department of Education office in Adelaide. There will be a Youtube video soon, so stay tuned.

Anyway, enough of my shameless plug.

In the last 4 years I've accumulated over 3000 posts and over 3000 rep. I've worked my way upto becoming the 20^th most reputable member here. I have made 29 blog entries, or 30 including...

I'm spewing out puns today. I just can't contain myself.

This also coincides with me being fairly happy at the moment. Go figure.

So my friends have all been in Sydney for the last week on a school orchestra trip winning some prestigious competition. I didn't even audition for the orchestra because I chose to be in a flute ensemble which rehearses the same night, although I doubt I would have gotten in anyway. Even if I did I'm just a fucking nuisance because of my performance nerves.

Meanwhile I had exam week. Although I only had exams on Monday and Tuesday I ended up going to school every day. We had a saxophone...

My saxophone teacher just stopped by my house to borrow some pants. I can honestly say that has never happened before and will probably never happen again.

While I'm here I may as well mention that I've hit my first batch of exams and I'm completely freaking out. I've already had my music performance exam, which I received an A for. I have a music studies exam on Wednesday and a music theory exam on Friday. The following week I have maths, English and physics exams. The most troublesome...

This is a rant about a stupid, highschool drama. If I were you I wouldn't bother reading it, but I'm frustrated and feel the need to write it up somewhere.

This is additional warning that I haven't proofread this.

A friend of mine Jane, who I've had a crush on for a while now but had a boyfriend, started crapping on about some hypothetical situation the other day. I managed to read into it that she was interested in me and unsure of whether to stay with her boyfriend....

I had a maths test today. My revision comprised of text-book skimming this morning. I was gravely concerned that I was going to fail.

We were given 1 hour 15 minutes to complete the test, but I was done in 40 minutes. I was the first to hand the test up, followed by a friend 10 minutes later. Nobody else handed theirs up until right at the end.

The teacher marked mine almost immediately, as I was slightly smug about handing it up first, a fairly rare occurrence. She...

I've felt really weird in the last few weeks. It's like there's fog in my head. Everything in my mind feels a long way away. I'm getting stupider every day. I'm mispronouncing words and just generally making no sense. My typing is still reasonably coherent after a thorough proofread with the aid of a spellchecker.

I've recently realised just how fucking stupid and paranoid I've been about everything lately. I feel like I can't do anything right. I feel as if people that tell me I'm...

After many long, soppy drafts I've decided on a short-ish blog.

I need to take a break from this place. As of late I feel really bad most of the time and visiting this place is one of the highlights of my day. I don't want that. I don't want to come home after a shit day and think "I know, my internet friends will cheer me up." I want to not be having bad days to start with. I'm really out of touch with people that should be my close friends and the amount of time I'm spending on...
