Who are you? Why do you plague my mind so?
Also, Omegle is fantastic for learning about foreign places. Armchair Travel.

Omegle!
I heard about this a few months ago, it seemed like a good idea but too likely to become perverted by 4channers and their like. For those who don't know, Omegle is an online chat thing that puts you into a conversation with a completely random stranger. In the last hour I have had an excellent conversation with a Turkish graphic art student in Istanbul (who had excellent English) and an interesting conversation with a mechanical engineering student in Kassel in Germany. I learnt a lot about Turkey, and the size of some Australian bands (I had no idea that Parkway Drive and I Killed The Prom Queen were so well known overseas) from my conversation with the Turk. And while his English was not so good, I found it hilarious to hear of how the German was planning to build a 5m catapult in the forest with 7 mates and a heap of beer and use it to destroy a house. It is a very educational thing. Although I did have a fair few fools, but nowhere near the amount I expected. A new addiction has formed.
Also, and this is pretty damn likely to lead to me posting here more often, I have eyes on a girl again. I write this more so I can never forget it I guess, and it can be fascinating to read over this stuff later on I have learnt. She catches my train every Monday morning at least, and given it is an hour and a half journey I have had plenty of time to watch. I hate myself for it, but she just seems so magnetic. I haven't even heard her speak. Now that is shameful. One day, I will talk to her. It seems simple, its easy to start a conversation with someone who shares your train destination on the way back. Maybe this will grow to become another obsession?

Long time, no actually taking the effort to click new post
Been a while I guess. Sweet jesus, it has been months. Ooops. I'm sure I intended to put something up, but I haven't really felt the need. This thing was always a place to go to clear out my thoughts, and I haven't had much time to think about much at all these days. I have been busy becoming an Engineer. Which does not really seem like my thing I guess. But thanks to the wonders of parental pressure and the threat of being kicked out unless I am studying, I have to do something at university. And engineering seemed like the cool thing to do. Ahh well.
I have been learning, been going to parties a lot more than I have ever before in my life. Good to meet new people I guess. Although all I end up doing is getting drunk enough to forget that I am usually fairly quiet and untalkative. Then making a fool of myself. Considering the last one I went to one I ended up trying to fire a potato cannon, which then exploded against my chest sending shards of PVC pipe everywhere. Thankfully the alchohol helped me to forget the burning. Then I promptly vomited up my dinner and went to bed. At 10 o'clock. Goddamn. I might slow down on the Jack Daniels next time.
Also, for all those who do not necessarily support racism, yet are still able to find racist stereotypes highly amusing, an Aboriginal rap!. Aboriginals are Australia's native playas. Hell, they're the only native anything here. I guess it is more amusing if you have met one.
