I haven't blogged for nearly a week. Why? Because nothing every happens to me. Ever. Until recently.
Okay, the first of the worst, you know that guy Tom who I had that huge crush on? He and Angie have started dating. Which sucks like a thousand hoover. Especially since they're pretty into eahc other and not likely to be breaking up any time soon.
The second was today. It's been a bad day. *cue REM music* This morning I woke up late, didn't get a chance to finish my homework and I barely made it to early morning class in time. Phew! So I wasn't very happy, the class was alright though I had no idea what the teacher was going on about. Then I had Philosophy, I forgot my homework and Janda was away (the only other person I know who does philosophy) so I sat there feeling stupid and lonely. Next was English, in which I got into an argument with the teacher and Tim agreed with me but he thought I had the teacher's point of view and she had mine which had me arguing and trying to explain to him while he continued to argue and not getting the point that we were on the same side! Then was recess, Fun fun! Afterwards was Chemistry, I got mixed up had no idea what the prac was about and generally got iritated. Next was Math Methods, a nice break where I had done all of my homework (13 long difficult questions) and for all lesson all the teacher did was answer those questions on the board. Score! All I did was chat with Megan and Hannah and play tetris on my calculator. Lunch. Bec had major dramas and El wouldn't shut up. Now was Physics, I got an N for a prac because I didn't have working out on one question. But it was kinda made up by a long conversasion about different villains with Bec and Torben. the evil genius (Sideshow Bob), the evil sadistic bastard (Ultimate Magneto), the bizarre kinky get-him-away-from-me freaky one (Ultimate Mr Sinister) and the flamboyant (not flamboyant as in sterotypical gay but flamboyant as in frolicing around shouting random words) cartoon villain (Rattigan!). After that I'd forgotten my GMA book so I went back to my locker to fetch it and got to class late. I was shoved on to lousy table at the back but luckily behind Luke and Sîany! For the first while I felt embrassed and stupid because I looked like a loner until Luke realised I was behind him and leant back to tlak to me every now and then (when the teacher wasn't looking because she hates people leaning on chairs, git) and Sîan, she never even looked at me. She ignored me the entrie time! Which made me feel crappy. At the end of the lesson she came up and said that she hand't seen me, to which I was, Yeah right. But she waited for me to get my things and walked back to my locker talk to me so now I'm not so sure she was ignored me. However, she couldn't have not seen me. Anyway, that was my day. And apart from having to Babysit my bro for an hour it's been alright since then.

I'm writing a short story for English. That about it but the story's about this evil Sports teacher I had. I'm having a very wrong conversasion with my cousin.

I skipped Indonesian today and walked home with Sîan who had a spare. I'm really, really sick of Indo. I don't know what made me choose to do it as a Year 12 enhancement. Oh yeah, now I remember, Bu. My teacher Bu Brady (Bu being the Indonesian equivilant of madam) convinced my friend Megan and I that we would do great at enhancement Indonesian, that we would do so well and find it easy. Currently, we are both borderline failing. You know, that wouldn't sting half as much if it wasn't for the fact that there are two other Year 11s doing Year 12 enhancement Indo. These two are smart arses and better than most of the Year 12s. They're just so smug about it too. They do more work than nesscary and they crave to show off, or make some kind of "witty" comment. *sighs and leans back* So yeah, that's the reason why I didn't update for so long and why I still skip so days, an unbelievable, unjustified and undoable workload.

You know that maniac on the Aussie news? That maniac who tied himself to an overhead wire and atatched rockets to his shoes? That maniac who shot along the wire at TOP SPEED? I know that maniac! Sam, yes Sam, did all that to celebrate the Greeks winning Euro 2004. *shakes head* Idjit.
Anyway, I've been thinking about how I don't plan to ever have kids. I mean it's not that I don't think I would be a good parent, I just have this really selfish and arrogant reason to not want kids. but I mean, why do people have kids? Especially people who can't take care of them. Taking care of children is like giving up part of yourself, to them, you have to look after them and care for them no matter what. Yet, It seems many aprents don't see that, I mean, you have parents who smoke around their baby or ignore or abuse them. But on the flipside you have people who would be great parents but don't have kids. Sorry if I'm rambling randomly but it's just been bugging me.
Just something for Mel.
Can you hear what I hear / It's calling you my dear / Out of reach / I can hear it calling you / I'm coming, not drowning / I've got something that's all mine / I'm searching for more / Take me somewhere I can breathe / I've got so much to see / This is where I wanna be / In a place I can call mine.

SPOILERS! SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN 2!
Wheeee! Just saw Spider-Man 2. It was good. I liked Doctor Octopus, an interesting character with good lines. I also liked Peter, you know, I usually don't like heros but Peter hasn't got that self-righteous thing going on. AND FINALLY MJ and Peter got together. After an entire movie of angsting, MJ left her fiancee at the altar and went to be with Peter. However, one of the reasons I went to see the movie was that GREAT Killing Hiedi song and they didn't even have the song in it. Rip-off!

I'm just going to write a quick entry now. Currently I'm extra busy with school. We have an Indonesian oral about the enviroment inwhich we must talk for FIVE STRAIGHT MINUTES. I'm managing not to freak out, but it's a clsoe call.
Anyway, on another subject, I know I've said this before but I need to say it again, MY LOCAL NEWSAGENCY SUCKS! Like really sucks, for two weeks they had no new X-Comics in and then in 2 days they got four in. I managed to get a copy of all four but it was close and it cost a lot. I don't know why they just can't get them in with moderation.
And finally, I HAVE DRAMA! DRAMA! YAAAAAAY! I am so happy. I love drama! YAY! Anyway, that's my 10 minutes on the computer up.

I just walked home and now my leg aches, as it always does when I walk home. The muscle cramps up.
Anyway, first day of school back. Surprisingly I didn't get blasted for not doing my homework and class went alright. Except I managed to leave my wallet at home to day so I couldn't buy lunch. I starving now. And also, because I left my wallet at home I didn't have my bus money, so I had to walk home. It wasn't that bad, I managed to convince Sian to walk home with me.
I also have heaps of Indo homework to do, I have no idea how I got it into my head that Year 12 Enhancement Indo was a GOOD thing.

Okay, I got this really funny quiz from Ella's blog.

Evil Plan (tm)!

Your objective is simple: World Domination.

Your motive is a little bit more complex: To show them all

Stage One
To begin your plan, you must first clone a chosen one. This will cause the world to sense a grave disturbance in the force, baffled by your arrival. Who is this spammer? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good wearing the skin of another human?

Stage Two
Next, you must sabotoge the Internet. This will all be done from a underground secret headquarters of doom, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will gibber like madmen, as countless hordes of computer programmers hasten to do your every bidding.

Stage Three
Finally, you must unleash your needlessly big weather machine, bringing about a 1984 police state. Your name shall become synonymous with the spice girls, and no man will ever again dare interrupt your sentences. Everyone will bow before your mind-boggling insanity, and the world will have no choice but to restore your credit rating.

NO ONE SHALT EVER INTERUPPT ME MID RANT AGAIN! MUWHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA- *falls off her computer chair* Anyway, it's part of this guide to be evil called, "So You've Decided To Be Evil." First they giev the definition of eivl and then say:

"But evil is actually so much more than all that. It is wickedness, malevolence, the desire to do people wrong. To take power for yourself at the expense of others, and then using it in the most ruthless and vile of ways. It is hurting people for no good reason at all, horrifically destroying their lives and then jumping up on down on their corpses. It is tying damsels in distress to railroad tracks and then twirling about in a moustache and black cape."

That last bit gets me every time. And then they talk about the benefits and continue with:

"Those are not the only benefits, however. By becoming a servant of darkness you can also engage in widespread plans of world domination. You can destroy the world with the method of your choosing and then jump up and down on its corpse. You can tie damsels in distress to railroad tracks and then twirl about in your moustache and black cape. Yes, by choosing evil you can truly walk down the street with pride, and watch small children run screaming from your presence."

*has fallen off her chair again laughing* Okay, I have an overdue indo project to do so I better get to it. Buh-d-bye!

Oh, I've been forgotten.

Okay, basically my host Raye was shutting down so I thoguht to myself, Ellie, get your act together, make a great new layout. Find yourself a new host and fix your FTP.
So, I stuck a few random things together with superglue to make this excuse of a layout and then return to pitas and deleted FTP off my computer forever! YAY!
The title, is inspired by the Good Charlotte song and the quote "He's as inhuman as...." is a quote about Shelock Homles who's a major fixture in this layout. The new name, "The Inhuman" was inspired by that quote AND the lines in the status bar are from A Study in Scarlet, the first Homles story.
The image is from Gettyone of course and edited in the fabulous (if confusing) Adobe Photoshop 7.
The quotations at the top are from the song "You and Me" by the Cranberrries. A great Irish band with neat songs.
Finally, the title for the layout "and all the shades of grey" was the first thought that sprung into my mind when I looked at the finished image.
That's about all I can manage for now since I have to go soon. Adieu.

I finally finished it. I'll explain properly tomorrow, but for now I want to talk about the WEIRDEST dream I had last night. I baby sit these two kids (Jessica, 7 and Shaun, 10) every Friday afternoon and I had a dream last night that they turned into dogs and ran off. So I ran after them because I knew that if I lose them, I'll be in huge trouble. So I run after them and they run into a shopping centre. In this shopping centre there are displays everywhere but they are only about ankle high and the floor slowly slopes up and at the end of the room it's pratically vertical. So, they reach the wall and there's a hole in it and they start to climb through it and Shaun can't quite make it through so I pushed though, thinking that if he feel backwards I would be in major trouble. Anyway, I follow them through the hole and what do I see? We are stand on a platform with a slide coming off it. So I grab them and carry them under my arms and go to walk down the stairs but there isn't stairs, just a ladder and I can't climb down the ladder with two dogs under my arms. So I pause and then run over and jump down the slide. We reach the bottom and then this guys comes and starts yelling at me for bring dogs on the slide, so I run like hell until I wake up. Weird, huh?
