See the storm set in your eyesSee the thorn twist in your sideI wait for youSleight of hand and twist of fateOn a bed of nails she makes me waitAnd I'm waiting for you...My body's tired, my spirit bruisedShe got me with nothing to win and nothing left to loseAnd you give yourself awayAnd you give yourself awayAnd you give, and you giveAnd you give yourself awayWith or without youWith or without youI can't live with or without youLabels: lyrics

ten things i love about zack fair
Tuesday, April 13, 2010
(Yes, he's not a real person, but I don't care.)
1. He runs everywhere. And when he doesn't run, he swaggers. So cool!
2. He has a huge... sword. :D
3. He has the weirdest hair ever, even weirder than Cloud's, and amazingly (like all cartoon characters)
it stays in place no matter what. If only I had hair like that! Instead I have some weird bird's nest thing happening on my head.
4. His tagline is "Embrace your dreams." (Which I put into the GOH speech for Speech Day, which the GOH
actually said out loud as advice to the sec 4s. WIN!)
5. He has beautiful eyes, unnaturally blue, like Athenian waters or noontime sky.
6. He does this stupid "YES-UH!" motion with his hand every time someone gives him something cool. Childish but cute.
7. His enthusiasm is infectious. When I first started playing Crisis Core I thought he was the most annoying creature ever, but as the game wore on his excitement about everything actually started to grow on me. He's like an excitable puppy, completely unafraid of danger and always wanting to try new things.
8. He's devoted (to a silly twit, no less, but still). He goes around looking for stupid things to make some retarded flower wagons just to make her happy. But then who in love wouldn't do that kind of thing?
9. He's pretty good-natured for someone accustomed to killing monsters. Always entertaining Yuffie and putting up with that 3rd-class who kept asking him to complete his missions for him. Oh and did I mention building stupid flower wagons?
10. He's not arrogant and show-offy like Sepiroth, and he's not emo and angsty like Genesis, and he's not weird like Angeal. He's just Zack, and that's enough. :)
And the 11th reason... he reminds me of you.Labels: ten things, zack fair

crumpler!
At Eunice's behest I am here to update. After 8 periods of teaching I feel like my mouth is going to rot and my hands are going to fall off, and my brain is going to puddle down into nothing.
Last night I went "cross-country" with Mel, meaning we went to City Hall and then back to Boon Lay within the space of an hour. :D I bought a new Crumpler because my old one is too small. Plus it's dirty - at first it was just grey, now it's dirty grey, which is kind of gross, so I am going to wash it before I use it again. The new one is red and blue (Mel chose). Well the other options were pink and blue (NO), and red and yellow ("so Superman!" - me. "So Macdonalds" - Mel.). So, red and blue it was.
Then we met up with Erin and Wei Jie for dinner at Billy Bombers. Supposed to be more people but as usual some had to pull out at the last minute. Was still fun, I love Erin and Mel and WJ. WJ has lost weight, looks like some skinny emo kid with flippy hair. And Erin's braces are off! Such beautiful teeth! Mel still looks like Mel, which is comforting in itself. I think if Mel suddenly lost a lot of weight and looked like some campus superstar my world would be shaken to its very foundations (rather like the time Lincoln's dictionary told me the word 'stupider' existed).
Anyway we ate steak and chicken and talked about chiwanmishu (ask Mel) and Eugene's algae-covered ball (ask Mel again). Oh and I treated, cos I felt like it.
:) I miss 4E5. But I love 4N4, and like I told Mel, sometimes it's not that you have to push things out of your mind, but that you have to accept it was part of your life and now there are new things to be part of your life. You don't have to let go, you just have to accept that things change. :)

That stupid song by Super Junior is stuck in my head. Especially the "da-da-da-dadada-dada-da" part. =.= Annoying.
I realised this morning that while orange and brown are lovely colours by themselves, they make an absolutely horrific combination. And why are our school colours still orange and brown if our uniform is grey and charcoal? I don't know why some people say the shirt is blue. It's not blue in the slightest. It's a dull and saddening grey, like dirty dishwater.
In other news, my eyes are very painful and they're making me very irritated. 1E7 was annoying me just now :( I told them about how Oscar Wilde was gay and they were agog with curiosity.
I am hungry and I am sad. I want peaches. Where is Sheryl when I need her? (Ans: Studying, doing F&N coursework or at band. T_T)
Oh by the way, I have decided one of my favouritest songs EVER is Keane's
Somewhere Only We Know, for various reasons. And 'favouritest' is not a word. I knew that.

I had stuff I wanted to blog about, but as usual I don't remember what they are.
Anyway hi to all the people who tagged, esp my 1E7 weirdos. Oh goodness 1E7 is like one of the weirdest classes ever. But I love them to bits. Horrible children :)
I am happy. I think everybody should be happy, esp when there are so many people out there who are much sadder than they are. Be happy, people. :) Easter is coming!
P.S. Too lazy to reply tags today. Sorry! ^^
