Jysk, I am alive. No, I didn't get drowned by the flood in Queensland thank you for asking. But something worse did happen. I was forced to endure the embarassingly asian-ness of my parents for the past week.

E.g. (In Queensland, I was at the markets with my family and some stall owner guy asked my dad where our family was from (cause obviously we looked like tourists). And you know what my dad said? Vietnam.

Not Sydney.

Not Australia.

Vietnam.)

Sigh.

Anyways I don't really feel like blogging right now but maybe tomorrow I'll tell you more about my
trip.... if you dare to know any more.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!

The first:

• thing I drank this year was wine - the most horrible disgusting tasting wine ever.
• question anybody asked me this year was: Do birds have nipples?
• song I heard this year was a retarded techno song on the radio (well apart from the firework songs I guess)
• thing I ate this year was a purple cupcake :)
• person(?) nancy saw this year was me... more specifically my foot which I was waiting to ambush her with. MUHAHAHA
• thing I said this year was "Ooooh... pretty." -talking about fireworks obvioiusly.
• book I read was Harry Potter.

1. I have a new founded fetish for random gifs and pics on the internet. I think this came from reading too much MarkReadsHarryPotter. He likes using random gifs to express his reactions and I think that kinda wore off on me. I also have like the most ginormous collection of funny harry potter related pictures that I want to show everyone. But I won't vomit them all out at once. I'll just show them to you bit by bit. What, you don't want to see anymore?? Well too bad >:(

2. I feel so nerdy when I say this but Liverpool Library is so AWESOME. The last time I went there was about 3 years ago... But I went again today I only just realised the full extent of its awesomeness. Like omg, the checkout counter is omg. Ok, mb I'm overreacting. I need to get out more :(

3. I wish people would blog more. I don't only want to write. I want to read what about people write too.

4. Yesterday my sister fell off her RipStik and kinda smacked her face against the pavement. Ouch. Now she's got like a massive bump on the side of her face that she keeps telling me to feel. I told her she looks like a victim of domestic abuse.

5. My Daily Desktop Calender says "May you have warmth in your igloo, oil in your lamp, and peace in your heart." - Eskimo Proverb. I don't have many of these left but the good news is, I bought a new one for 2011 at the shops today. It's not a quotes one this time though. I'll elaborate more in a further post.

6. My cousin bought me a Junior Masterchef Cookbook for christmas. I looked at him like "seriously? Do you want me to burn down this whole townhouse or something?" According to him, I should be a reporter "because you can write stuff and shit...". Hmm that's actually not a bad idea. Apart from the fact that I have zero interest in current affairs.

7. Douchebaggery is my new favourite word. Move over, discombobulate.

8. Moulin Rouge is such a weird movie. It's strange how some parts could be so epic but then other parts make you want to bang your head against a door or something.

9. Doesn't this gif just win all the lulz?



10. I stumbled across this online store the other day: http://www.etsy.com/shop/theforksforest

They sell handmade jewellery and random bits of themed collectables. Most of their stuff is based on books like The Hunger Games and Twilight (don't judge >_>). There isn't much but the things that they do have are so pretty. Like the Mockingjay Love Shadowbox and the Tic Toc Mockingjay Necklace.

Alright everybody, remember to party hard today!

Today we are featuring Hermione Granger because she is totally the most awesome Harry Potter character there is, besides Ron and Luna Lovegood. Oh and Dobby.

Bear with me people as I go through this Harry Potter phase.

How to RipStik:

How NOT to RipStik:

As you can see, I have still got a way to go but I'll get there. By the end of the holidays, I'm going to be a RipStik-ing pro.... maybe. Ah well its okay. I shall comfort myself with the fact that no matter how sucky I am at it, i'm still better at it than Nancy :)

P.S. the arm waving is not just to garner attention. It actually helps to balance? I think.

& also because I am rereading the whole series again and have just finished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

You know what that means?

PICSPAM PARTY!! Complete with Mean Girls and Twilight mash-ups :)
