They won’t let me join the Peace Corps. :( I was so excited, too. 27 months abroad, in another country, helping people. I was dead set on applying. Then I found out that I’m qualified in all areas except for one. I’m not a U.S. citizen. They should have Peace Corps for Australian permanent residents. I feel crushed :(
My mission for this week will be to be nonreactive. I will not lose my temper or allow anything to make me upset or annoyed. This will be tough, as this morning didn’t start out too well >.<
I’ve been tired and stressed for the past few weeks. I need a break. This blog will be on hiatus as of now, not sure until when.
Saw IV was a very good, very gory movie. I liked it. I was starting to think it was going to be one of those bad sequels…until I actually saw it. I am now trying to decide between a PSP and a DS. And watching Stargate.
What a proactive advert from a funeral service business.
When reading The Game by Neil Strauss, I read these two stories. Both of them have a different take on the same issue. Which do you think is more realistic?
The Frog and the Scorpion – as told by Mystery to Style
One day, a scorpion stood on the side of a stream and asked a frog to
carry it to the other side.‘How do I know you won’t sting me?’ the frog
asked.‘Because if I sting you, I’ll drown,’ the scorpion said.
The frog thought about it and realized that the scorpion was right. So
he put the scorpion on his back and started ferrying him. But midway
across the stream, the scorpion plunged its stinger into the frog’s back.As they both began to drown, the frog gasped,’Why?’
The scorpion replied, ‘Because it is my nature.’
The Medieval Legend of Parsifal – as summarized by Style
A sheltered mother’s boy meets some knights and decides he wants to be just like them. So he goes off into the world, has a series of adventures, and progresses from legendary fool to legendary knight.
The country, at the time, has become a wasteland because the grail king
(who guards the holy grail) has been wounded. And it just so happens that
Parsifal is led to the grail castle, where he sees the king in terrible pain.As a compassionate human being, he wants to ask, “What is wrong?” And, according
to legend, if someone pure of heart asks that question of the king,
he will be healed and the blight on the land will be lifted.However, Parsifal does not know this. And as a knight he has been
trained to observe a strict code of conduct, which includes the rule of never
asking questions or speaking unless he is addressed first. So he goes to bed
without talking to the king. In the morning, he wakes to discover that the
grail castle has disappeared. He has blown his chance to save king and
country by obeying his training instead of his heart. Unlike the scorpion,
Parsifal had a choice. He just made the wrong one.
I’m not sure what I think of these…I think that logically, both stories have the same message – Style just interpreted the second story incorrectly. It is what’s in your heart that you’re nature, not what you have been trained to do. So Parsifal, unlike the scorpion, went against his nature by forcing himself to obey his training instead. The scorpion did the opposite – he refused to practice mental strength to subdue his nature and gave in to it. In the end, if Parsifal followed his instincts, his natural compassion, he would have saved the King.
Well, I gave up on my old layout idea for now and came up with a simpler custom theme for the blog. It suits me at the moment and I still hope to implement something a bit more advanced later on.
I have my last mock exam tomorrow at 1pm. I can’t wait for it to be over, but I also really don’t want it to get here in the first place. Because after these mocks, I have to go back to school for an entire week – and then take more exams on the same exact subjects for the actual TEE. Why we need two sets of exams back to back, I don’t know. Personally, I think it is a failing system.
I have the best dog in the world. Her name is Keeda and she’s 1 year, 4 months, and 8 days old. She’s gorgeous, she really is. She’s always energetic and full of life. Keeda and I have our fights and frustrating moments – her running at other dogs even when I tell her not to, me being mean and making her heel whenever she’s on leash.
Today we had an awesome time at a mini-lake by my neighbourhood. We had to walk through a park to get there and saw these guys on the way, just lounging in the grass! This is the first time I’ve seen a lizard this big in the wild and Keeda got quite excited. One of them was longer than my forearm :o
Keeda doesn’t really like to swim, but I hope to show her the true pleasures of jumping into a pool of water. It was pretty hot today so she was already a bit puffed from our jog to the lake. She waded in and walked around in the shallows a bit.
I then got a stick and threw it into the water. She went off to find it.
I figure, good, so when she retrieved the stick and got her treat, I threw it again, only deeper. She was like ‘WTF?’
But with a bit of encouragement, she went off after the stick.
And successfully brought it back on shore!
That darn water was no match for Keeda.
You know what? I’ve decided that I like my hair wavy. I used to hate it because I could never get it completely straight unless I used my friend’s GHDs. But now, while I do like my hair straight as well, I’ve mastered the technique of keeping it un-frizzy (for the most part), and I enjoy the waviness. Not sure which suits me better – wavy or straight; I really can’t pick at the moment. When is Ward gonna get out of the shower -.- Ward, if you’re reading this right now, yes, I’m waiting for you to get out of the shower. CALL ALREADY, I want to get the movie night started.
From now on, we’ll talk about sex. And, of course, where there’s sex there’s men.
2) It’s just fun.
3) It might make you more comfortable with the idea of him watching porn if you’re present during the act – and enjoying it.
