Things No One Enjoys

This is a public service announcement. If you find yourselves doing any of these things, stop right away and move on with your life. Never look back at that time and never repeat yourself. Sincerely, the rest of human kind. Seriously though, there is so much that goes on around us that no one likes yet people still do it. They even make jokes about it. Who has ever heard on a train or tram "Oh, I'm on a (insert mode of transport) but I can talk"? Just stop, no one wants to hear your conversation and if the most exciting thing on my train ride home is listening to what you are going to do later that night than I would rather not. Feel free to comment down below or use the contact form to the right if there are any that you want to add. There is sure to be a lot more out there.

While I am on the topic of trains and trams. If you are listening to music, make sure you use headphones. No matter what song is playing, if I am being bombarded by it on a crowded train I am not likely to want to listen to that song again and if you stay like that for more than 20 minutes you are not going to be able to listen to music on your newly-smashed iPod. If you are using headphones, do not have your music so loud such that you may as well not be wearing any. You too may find yourself in the market for a new phone/music player in the coming moments. Also, if you think you are so tough by drinking alcohol, riding between carriages or doing what you think are "Chin-Ups" then just stop. You look like a complete tool and are probably going to be mistaken for the Janoskians. Moving away from transport we come to the wonderful world of entertainment. First, let us go on a trip to the movies. If you are going to see a movie do not spend half of it either talking or using your phone. It annoys everyone else around you and, trust me, you are not the center of the Universe. Also, if you are coming in late, do it quietly and with as little disruption as humanly possible. Narrating your way down the aisle tends to ruin the movie experience. The same goes for live shows where it is even worse as they tend to cost a lot more than movie tickets. Back to transport, do not be an idiot on the roads. No sane person likes a hoon. They cause a disruption and are a public nuisance. Who cares if their cars are crushed or impounded? Every bad choice should have a consequence. Also, if you are on the Highway/Freeway do not travel in the fast lane while going 20km/h under the speed limit. If you do, you are going to get harassed because no one likes that. Also, do not suddenly decide to cross all the lanes in one giant leap as if you are Moses parting the red sea. No one likes that and no one likes you. Next we come to shopping. If you are going to use the self-serve at the peak periods then make sure you know what you are doing. Do not bother going there if you are just going to take ages to scan one item. Also, if you do not know what you want, do not go up and wait in line to order or purchase something. Have you never heard of looking around before or is this just some strange concept? Also, if you find yourself in front of an emergency vehicle, get out of the damn way. I have news for you, you can get charged for doing that!

Finally back to some long posts. See you tomorrow!

Merry Christmas... Still Short

I am so sorry for having to post all these short pieces but Mum is on the computer all day working on her year in review video that always takes a lot longer than it should. This means having to write posts using the Blogger application on my phone which can be very annoying. For one thing it does not let me format pictures which means they never look right and because it is on my phone it takes a lot longer to type out, seriously. It also is harder to gauge how much I have actually written because you can not show as much on your phone. At least I can go to sleep now though because I am really tired after the firecall I had to go to at midnight last night. Plus I have to get up early tomorrow for the CFA as well to help Weribee Zoo test their evacuation plan. At least it could be somewhat fun.

Anyway, sorry again for these short late posts. See you tomorrow.

The Wrong Lyrics

There are many horrible things in our world today. One of the worst is what I am going to be talking about today. For those of you who actually read the title (you would be surprised how many people do not) of this post would know what I am going on about. Of course, I am talking about the times when you have a song stuck in your head and you do not know most of the lyrics. But wait, this is not even the worst part. It is even more annoying when you think you have the right lyrics but all you end up doing is singing the one line over and over again (for some songs this works) or just putting in random words. For instance, I have only actually listened to Royals by Lorde once (do not judge me) and so I know the general sound and rhythm as well as a lot of the lyrics. However, there are some parts where I either just hum it or I insert some random words. Once, after watching Fringe, I found myself singing "And we will never be Broyles (Broyles)". It really just stuck and so now, almost every time, I find myself singing that line instead of actually singing the right words.

The worst part is sometimes what part of the song that you remember. You know how some songs make sense all together but if said in dribs and drabs it makes absolutely no sense and makes you look crazy. As my favourite artist is Lady Gaga and most of her songs are a little "out-there" as it is sometimes the parts of her songs I can remember can make me sound like a sexual predator. For instance, in Aura (one of her new songs from ARTPOP) the only part I can clearly remember besides the beginning is "Do you want to see me naked lover? Do you want to peek underneath the covers? Do you want to see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura? Do you want to touch me cosmic lover? Do you want to peek underneath the cover? Do you want to see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura, behind the aura, behind the aura?" Do you know how weird that would sound if you passed someone singing that on the street. Do not even get me started on the only parts I can remember of her songs Sexxx Dreams, Jewels and Drugs, and Dope. Even though Dope is actually a very emotional and deep song, the main parts I can remember make me seem like a drug-addict. Although, in Werribee that might not stand out as much (no judge). Admittedly, even if I knew all the lines of Sexxx Dreams I would still sound extremely weird to anyone passing by. At least Gypsy is a relatively normal song with no explicit sexual innuendo so I can get away with singing that in public, Venus not so much. Mary Jane Holland sort of though I would seem like I am having a delusion of stardom with someone called Mary Jane Holland. Donatella would just make me sound like a superficial rhymes-with-witch and Fashion would make me seem like that guy from the Target advertisements.

This is a very serious issue, see you tomorrow! 

Weird Inventions

Today I had no school due to correction day for teachers to mark exams and for students to complete make-up exams if they missed some for whatever reason. Anyway, so today I went to see Catching Fire (which is an awesome movie by the way) and at the end I had to go to the toilet, as you do. As I was relieving myself I got to thinking how weird inventions came about such as the "pee wall" (I could not find anywhere what the actual name was). Again, this is something you normally do as you pee. Anyway, so today I thought I would go through some of the inventions that would have seemed weird at the time they were conceived. Let us begin with the "pee wall". How did that even come about? Did someone want to make peeing on walls socially acceptable. Before this invention if you saw someone peeing on the wall you would call the police. Now, if you see someone pee on these "pee walls" you could congratulate them for not urinating in a public place. Seriously though, does anyone else think the conception of this idea is just a little weird?

Next we have the odd yet incredibly popular "snuggie". Basically, it is a blanket that you can wear as clothes. Some people even wear it out (though why they would do that I do not know). It is great in that you have complete protection and do not have "cold spots" which the blanket did not cover. Like the pee wall, did someone think that they wanted to make it socially acceptable to wear a blanket in public? Well they definitely succeeded and have since made millions out of it. Such a weird invention but now the majority of people know what you are talking about when you say "snuggie". Now, what about those "Magic" 8 Balls that people set so much store in. We all know that it is merely chance and there are no supernatural powers working on that 8 ball. Still though, people set so much store in that toy. It just shows how much people do not want to have to make their own decisions. "Should I wear clothes today." "My sources say no." "Am I going to be forever alone?" "You may rely on it." "Will I ever feel better?" "Better not tell you now." Seriously though, all those replies are actually what magic 8 balls say (I Googled it and everybody knows Wikipedia does not lie). Who else hates those incredibly annoying singing fish? Who came up with that? Did someone want to feel like they could actually fish and so they made a fake plaque with a fake fish on it? Then, just for the hell of it, they added the power of speech and (most regretfully) of song. God, I see now what you mean by hell. You hath converted me. Now, for the final and creepiest invention of all I pass over to the furry "Furby". Did some lonely man or woman come up with that and realise that "Hey, there must be other lonely people like me out there somewhere. Let's sell these incredibly creepy dolls that speak their own language to other people like me. #Genius." Yes, I put a hashtag in a bit of dialogue. Do not judge me (I see you judging me).

Now do you see how weird some inventions actually are? See you tomorrow!

Scheduling Woes

So sorry for another short post given it is only 6:30 but my Methods exam is tomorrow and I need to study! Not to mention all the other subjects later this week. That is why I scheduled two posts over the last two days (Friday and Saturday). Generally, I say that I love scheduling as it gives me the freedom to have days off writing for this blog so I can focus on other things or just relax. However, sometimes scheduling does not work so well and little problems arise. You may have noticed a lack of a post yesterday. Well, you can blame scheduling. For some reason it did not post when it should have and now when I go to look for it, it seems to have disappeared as if it was deleted. It was a really 'interesting' one too on The Great Firewall of China which I spent a whole Semester studying for my individual humanities research project. However, you will just have to wait until later in the year or early next year to learn about this 'feat' of the modern world. Anyway, so because of what happened there was no post up yesterday. Generally when this happens I just write another post and schedule it so that it should have come out yesterday. Because of this, blogger posts it with yesterday's date and the time I choose. This is something I generally do when a technical issue such as this occurs but this time I thought I owed it to you all not to lie. Also, I did not want to spend more time than I needed to away from studying for these exams. I will hopefully see you tomorrow with some 'witty' observations from my first exam.

See you tomorrow!

Busy Study Day

So sorry guys but tonight I was caught up studying and so this is another picture-less late-night post written on my phone. I hate when this happens but it will probably begin to happen a lot more until next Thursday. This is, as some of you will know, because of my school exams. I have VCE Maths Methods on Monday which is going to make me study really hard until the day and then my other subjects on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I want to apologise in advance for more posts like these due to my study habits. In the coming days I am going to write a few more posts about studying and how to do it effectively so stay tuned for those because I know how popular they were last Semester. They will include some new things as well as some rehashing of the old yet great stuff.

So stay tuned because exam week is coming up both on this blog and in my life. See you tomorrow!

Google Problems

Those of you who have been reading my blog for some time now know that I like to complain. You would also know that I like to use Google sites like YouTube and Google Plus (yeah, I like it. Get over it). Considering the fact that I like both of these there are bound to be some complaints I have about Google. Well, here they are. I have been meaning to write a post like this for some time. I even started writing them into some of my Random Thought Friday posts before I realised that I had enough to write a whole post about them. So here we go, my Google problems:

Source: http://setandbma.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/ecosystem-war/

Google Captions. Do I need to say any more? For those of you who do not know, Google captions is a feature on YouTube that basically places subtitles on videos. However, about 97% of the time, these captions are wrong. It can actually make a boring video really funny. Go on, try out my theory with one of my videos. However entertaining they are however, they are also very annoying when you want to watch something with this feature enabled as you do not have headphones and do not want to use your speakers. It is incredibly annoying how this happens so Google, just stop with the bloody captions. They just make things worse. Plus, death people probably believe everything they say. Anyway, I might actually do a post like that one day where I transcribe what the video is actually saying and then write down what Google captions thinks is going on. Over the past few months Google has been trying to integrate all their sites into using just one account. This way you do not need separate accounts for Google Drives, YouTube and Google Plus. The annoying thing here is whenever the message pops up on my YouTube telling me to change (how dare you ask me to change) and I have to click out of it because every other option sucks. If I choose to use my Google Plus account people will find out my full name and that is just not cyber safe. However, if I choose to have two separate accounts linked to the same one each time I log onto my YouTube through my phone I have to select whether to use it as Legolukey or Luke. On my Dad's iPad however I simply can not use my YouTube because it is such an old iPad that YouTube has basically given up updating their app for that format. Apple does not even let them update to iOS7. Thought that may not be such a bad thing. The point is that now I just have to get out of the box as quickly as I can and it is really annoying.

I do have many more Google problems so there may be a part two in the distant future. Do not wait around for one though because I have a horrible memory. See you tomorrow!

Random Thought Friday: Saturday Again!

You can tell there is a problem with the "Random Thought Friday" name when there are the same number of these posts written on a Saturday as there are on a Friday. I may as well just take out the "Fri" and replace it with something else like "Sat" or "Any". Seriously though, it is becoming an issue. It just that every Friday there seems to be some reason why I am not home enough to write these. In itself, that is weird considering I can stay up later than normal as there is no school the next day. Though I do have Piano in the morning and now with the Leaders of the Future Program I generally have something on Sunday mornings as well so basically I get no sleep in and have to go to bed early to get enough sleep to get me through the week. Wow, I am really starting off this random thought post straight away. Anyway, the next few weeks are going to be a pain mainly due to exams. However, as the exams are later than usual I can sleep in and since my brother does not go to school anymore (as he is doing VCE and their exams finish next Friday) I do not have to get up early to go with him. People do say that every cloud has its silver lining. Anyway, moving on to more random thoughts. This is a really long introduction.

You want to know what is really annoying? Well, as well as all the other stuff I complain about on this blog. Why do I even ask these rhetorical questions when it is not as if I have two alternate posts with a link for each answer. Hey, I should totally do that. It could be a sort of "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" post except it is not really an adventure but merely an interactive post. Anyway, back to being annoyed. What I was saying before my random thoughts got in the way is how annoying it is when you are in a rush for something and you need to park but at that one moment in time there are no car parks. Does this happen to everyone else or is it just my incredibly bad luck? Granted, I am generally not the person driving and if I am I tend to stay away from busy car parks (I do not want to make the other drivers self-conscious once they see my driving skills #seatbeltssavelives) but it does happen to me a lot. Talking about hashtags, I am so behind on some of the internet trends. For ages everyone on Facebook was changing their profile pictures to giraffes. It was not until I read a news article about it that I understood that people who did this had answered incorrectly to a riddle that was circulating. Even recently there is another craze going around where everyone posts little cartoon scenes of themselves (generally with others) with a 'funny' caption underneath. It was not until I found a Facebook page full of them that I found out they were called "Bit-Strips" or something along those lines. I am so far behind on some of the internet trends it is not funny. Seriously, you guys reading this may be amused but it is not a laughing matter. Come to think of it, my mind is in a really random mood at the moment and most of what I am saying is probably sending you all on random tangents that never really had any connection in the first place. I better stop before we get to the "bad metaphor" stage.

Now do you see why I need this weekly post so badly? See you tomorrow!

A Late Post But is it Short?

So, the big question on everybody's minds tonight is whether this late post will be long or short. That is for you to decide at the end of this post. I will try to make it as long as possible but since I am writing this on my phone it takes a whole lot longer to type just a few words, let alone a few sentences. Basically, my life write now is just trying to make this post as long as possible even though it is on my phone. As it is on my phone it will not include pictures because the stupid Blogger App does not let you format the picture so it comes up very large right at the end. It is very annoying. Blogger, you should totally get on to fixing that bug. Anyway, so tonight's reason for a late post was actually because of one of my commitments for the Wyndham "Leaders of the Future" program. The commitment in question is attending the Wynbay Blue Light disco. The Blue Light disco is a disco run by Victoria Police and aimed at primary school students. Basically, I felt really tall for once. It was a nice feeling. My role was to basically supervise them and make sure that if they did anything dangerous or bad that I would stop it. I did have to stop a lot of things going on as a lot of the kids were drinking sugary drinks. As you should know, sugar and children do not mix well. The good thing was though that when I was reprimanding them I could do in a way that would not scare them or make them feel bad. It was more of a "Please Stop That" situation and because I was so tall (compared to them) they would listen. All in all, it was a great night and I can not wait to do it again.

Getting involved in the Community can lead to meeting so many new people. See you tomorrow!

You Know it is Exam Time When...

There are so many exams going on at the moment. There are VCE exams and (I am not sure of this so do not judge me if I am wrong) the International Baccalaureate (IB) exams. Aside from these there are also all the end-of-year exams that come up for nearly every high school. There are several markers that can help you recognise when an exam is coming (if you do not know dates or are not very organised). Here is a list of just some of the ways you can work out if an exam is coming. If you have any more, do not be afraid to share them either by comments or the contact form to the right.

Work will begin to slow down in preparation for study and revision. This can be likened to the "silence before the storm" adage that works in many situations.

You begin to revise old topics in class. If you are doing this and you do not know there is an exam coming up, I am pretty sure there is. Your teacher would not be wasting precious class time on revision if it was not going to benefit you somehow.

People seem to get more distracted and pay even less attention. At least when there is normal work and students are learning something they need to pay some bit of attention so that they learn what they are being taught. However, since revision is going over things we already have learnt students do not seem to be as focused and spend a lot of class time playing games.

My brother watches even more television. It may not seem possible but a good indication of when exams are coming up is when my brother decides to re-watch some old television show just for the hell of it. When the DVD comes out you know someone is procrastinating.

People begin to stress out the night before and your inbox blows up with messages from stressed classmates doing last-minute fact-checking. This happens even before an assignment is due. Facebook just seems to become even busier. It really is an interesting phenomenon.

Posts like these begin to appear. Posts focused on exams like this one appear more on my blog. I know that last exam week every single day was a full post on one part of exams. You also notice a lot less short posts as I do not stay up as late and find it harder to procrastinate. Who am I kidding, I procrastinate anyway.

Do not leave all your studying to the last minute. See you tomorrow!

The Worst Part of Summer

You may have realised, if you checked last night, that there was no post visible. This was, for some unknown reason, true. However, there was a post published last night it is just that, for some reason, it did not show up on my actual blog. According to my Blogger dashboard it was posted but according to my blog it was not. I am very sorry for this and will try to ensure it does not happen again although this may be difficult since I have no idea what caused this glitch in the first place. I am also glad that I only wrote a short introduction to this post so this paragraph does not seem so long. Anyway, onto the post. Well, Summer is coming around again this year just as it does every other year. With Summer comes many things including heat, humidity and Sun. However, with the season of Summer also comes another annoying phenomenon that can make you look like a wannabe interpretive dancer. I am, of course, talking about the worst part of Summer: the flies.

Source: http://knighthammer40k.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/summer-loving.html

 

Flies are just so incredibly annoying and they never seem to get the damn hint that you do not want them. Every year they come back and every year will kill a few hundred before a few thousand are born to take their place. They are just so annoying and can ruin any good day. As you may have realised, I HATE flies. Yes, I intentionally capitalised hate because I wanted to empthasise how much they annoy me. Even as I write this post a pesky fly has somehow being let in by my absent-minded brother and is flying around me right now. Some days I wake up and just want to go outside armed with a belt full of fly spray and then a backpack for back up. Flies are just so damn irritating. Why can they not be like birds or some of the other insects who live their lives separately to ours? Can we not just have a few years of peace? My message to you flies is to leave us alone, or face the consequences. I hear Mortein is on special next week.

Damn you flies! See you tomorrow!

Do Not Test My Patience

Do you want to know the worst time to test my patience? Even if you did not, you are going to. The answer is right now. I have had to put up with so much crap tonight that I am just over it. Plus I am tired. You definitely do not want to test my patience when I am tired. You would not like me when I am tired. So the moral of this late-night post: don't mess with me right now.

Have a great day, see you tomorrow!

Did you really just say that?

Do you know those times when you are talking to someone and they say something and you are taken off guard? Or when you scroll through your Social Networks and see something that someone posted and have to ask yourself "why?" If you have experienced that then the best you can do is know that you are not alone. Statistics (that I just made up) show that at any one moment there is a 97% chance that one or more people are thinking this. Sometimes I think it when I see studies like this. Some people are amazed at the findings. I am just amazed that someone was interested enough to do a study on whatever it was they were studying. Some just seemed overly complicated. It is times like this that we question the thinking processes of certain people. Sometimes it can ruin your view of the future.

Sometimes you just need to think before you speak. Do not just think about what you are going to say, think about whether or not that statement could hurt someone's feelings or make someone feel less about themselves. There are some incredibly thoughtless people out there who just say things and try to pass it off as a joke. Even if they are joking it does not make it hurt any less. Once it is said people begin to look at themselves and they realise if it is true or not. Believe me, the "it was only a joke" line never does you any favours. It just makes you look like more of a prick. On Facebook you see it all the time. People just posting meaningless statuses just so people ask them what they are on about. Talk about an attention whore. If you want people to notice you more, say something intelligent or interesting instead of something that makes you look like a self-important person. Seriously guys, I have said to think before you speak but you should also remember to think before you post. Think about how that post could make you or others look or feel. Once you feel confident enough that you know what you are saying can not offend anyone. Then you can post it. Of course, there are times when you need to voice your opinion and sometimes this can hurt people's feelings. The important thing you need to find is a balance and the fine line between opinion and just aiming to hurt someone.

Think before you act, see you tomorrow!

Another Late Night

I feel like this is happening too much to be normal. I feel that I am saying that too much to be normal. Anyway, have you ever being really bored and then, all of a sudden got an old song you had not listened to on years stuck in your head? For me, it happens once or twice a week. Last week I got back into Never Let Me Go by Florence and the Machine and this week it is Be Prepared from the Lion King. It gets worse when you can only remember one line and so that is all you are humming. It gets annoying.

I am sorry for all these late posts, they are written on my phone by the way which is why they are so short and devoid of images. See you tomorrow!

Daily Lukey: The Journey to 200 (Part 5)

Finally, the journey continues! After a 'brief' hiatus this series has returned for its epic conclusion. Of course, it is all part of celebrating 200 posts but the past two days were full of so much excitement (namely going out and not getting back to late) that.... no. I can not even finish that. Anyway, we began August with a post about things that frustrate us (I forgot to mention the Blogger Phone App) before complaining about the physical and mental pain that people's actions can cause us (in a sense of stupidity or silliness not actual abuse). I then wrote a post about some of the disgusting things that happen in our world before writing a post titled simple "wet" where I again reiterated my love of rainy days. The next day was spent by looking at Peter Capaldi, who will soon be known as the twelfth doctor in Doctor Who. The next day I wrote about inspiration and how hard it was to find good inspiration before I spent the next day writing a post late at night about how tired I was (I do not talk about myself much but when I do, I complain). The next day I wrote a post about how I get cranky when I am tired (I still have no idea how I made such a long post on that since, back then, the posts were even longer than today). I then wrote about performances and the benefits of performing before discussing the scars the our Parents leave on us by embarrassing us every day. The next day I went to the RMIT Open Day and boy, did I get annoyed. So what was my first reaction? Write a post about it of course!

Source: http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2011/07/03/weekend-diversion-the-physics/

I then wrote a post about some emotional television and movie moments and how they made us feel (of course Doctor Who was on that list somewhere). I then wrote a post about characters we love to hate because I was just so in love with the character that I hated (in a fan sort of way, not romantic). I actually managed to work The Hunger Games into this so I was pleased. The next day I rejoiced after finally getting Instagram and listening to Lady Gaga's new song, Applause. By the way, I still live for the applause. I then wrote a post on assignments and the importance of due dates and how there are always some people who find some excuse to leave it all to the last minute and yet still manage to get great grades. I then rejoiced for it was Friday before rejoicing again by looking at some new technologies. I began the next week with the Melbourne University version of Annoying Things People do at University Open Days (yeah, People can be very annoying). The next day I wrote about repetitiveness after starting to write a post about something I had already written about. I needed to make it seem like I knew what I was doing so I made up some random stuff about repetitiveness (did you get that?). The next two days I complained about how cold it was before complaining about headphones and how they always seem to get tangled. I then got annoyed at my brother's laziness before starting a series about the various political parties in Australia. The next day was about the Melbourne Writers Festival and my experiences before another installment of the political series was posted. I then wrote about the signs that Spring is coming before surprising you all with a post all about why I was taking a day off from politics. I then discussed Lost and the emotions that can come with this action. For the last post of August I complained about how Stubborn Sandy could be at times.

Thank you for reading all the way down to this, you can stop now. See you tomorrow!

The Journey to 200 LATE Posts

You may not realise this but the late post has become an integral part of this blog. It has become such a weekly thing that it is more shocking when a long post comes out on one of these days. Anyway, I am very tired and very grumpy and this stupid phone keyboard is making me want to throw my phone across the room and then smash it into a million pieces which I will then burn and scatter at different locations out at sea. Oh,I am very tired so do not mess with me.

Thus ends another short post. See you tomorrow!

Just When You Thought it Was Over

Just when you thought you were free from the short late posts I proved you wrong. I know tonight was supposed to be Part 5 of my 200 posts 'celebration' but I got home too late and pretty much had to go to sleep straight away. By sleep I mean bed as obviously I am not sleep-typing this. That would be a great skill to have though and would save me time on nights like these. Anyway, is it not just so annoying when you are really tired but your body does not let you go to sleep? It just annoys me so much because by the time I finally fall asleep I am awoken a short while later by my brother (I share a room) who goes on his phone until late that night or early the next morning so then the light keeps me from falling asleep. It does make me really angry at times.

Anyway best get to sleep before this post makes even less sense, see you tomorrow!

Decisions, Decisions

You know how annoying it can be to make major decisions in a rush? Decisions like where to go, who to see and where to see Catching Fire are just impossible to make on limited time. The worst part is you can not stay silent and think about it first because then people just stare at each other in an awkward silence. Then this awkwardness just grows to an extent that by the time you have a decision it is too awkward to say anything and so the rest of the time is spent in silence. To avoid this you have to use filler words like "um", "er" or "uh" and after a while of doing this you just seem like a brain-dead idiot. It is just so hard to make decisions on the spot guys, do not put me under such pressure!

So think before you ask me these major decisions. How am I supposed to remember what my favourite movie is so that I can answer immediately after you ask? It just makes me look like an idiot when I go "Hunger Games... no! Catching Fire.... no! Hunger Games" and it gets worse once people realise that Catching Fire has not being released yet and they realise I am presuming this. When you ask me where I want to go do not expect a straight answer. Of the trillions of locations within our world how am I supposed to know where I want to go at that exact moment. Unless I need to go to the toilet really badly I will have no idea. Even then, when someone asks where you want to go "Toilet" is in no way a valid answer. It just leads to an awkward silence and a hasty change of subject. How should I know what I want from the store? I have literally milliseconds to come up with something and then I say something stupid that I will never need like tampons or a life. I mean, come on guys. If you ask me hastily you are going to get a hasty response. Now questions like what do you want to be when you are older, what are you going to study in VCE, do you want to be resuscitated should the need arise are ones that do not require as much thought. Just remember that where I want to watch Catching Fire is going to be a major decision and turning point in my life so do not expect me to answer you immediately, I need time.

So next time you ask any of these important questions, do not expect a responsible answer. See you tomorrow!

Daily Lukey: The Journey to 200 (Part 4)

Welcome to part 4 of the series where I take a look back through the 199 posts that lead up to the 200th post. This is all to celebrate my 200th Post last Friday and this series will run until this Friday with a break tomorrow for variety. We begin July with a post celebrating the fact that I had my braces removed! It was such a great day and it really made a great start to the school holidays. I then wrote a post about television shows that people watch because it is there rather than for any enjoyment/educational purpose before I celebrated my 100th post. I took a look through the many features of this blog and advertised that I was adding all the photos for each month that appeared on the blog (and a few that did not make the cut) to celebrate. Each month a new month of pictures is posted. This month's one will be pictures from May 2013 and can be checked out by following the Facebook page link to the right under pages. I then wrote a post about holiday homework before I wrote another on the magical creation of movies. Magical, I have said that word too many times today to be normal. I then wrote a post about boredom (while I was bored might I add) and followed that with a post about the top five most successful YouTubers (I was bored on this night as well). I then discussed the ever-changing and always surprising adventures of walking Sandy (he did begin to appear a lot in this blog) followed by a post on Facebook Games and how, over the holidays, I become addicted to them (no judge). I finished the following day with a post in response to all the reports of seniors 'mistaking' the accelerator for the brake and proposed that perhaps it was some sort of "senior rebellion".

I then wrote a post about Twitter which was, ironically, followed by a post about the annoying things in our lives. I then celebrated a productive day by writing a post about it before again writing another post the next day on Annoying things People do on Facebook because, apparently, I had not complained enough two days before. Then school returned and I wrote a post about that before the wonder wore off and I returned to late-night posts written on my phone. The blogger app by the way is not that good. It is alright but pictures can not be resized or repositioned which is very annoying (I must have been having a very annoying month in July). I then complained about how some people seem to have so much money to spend before I wrote the next post on selfish people. Yeah, I wrote a post about selfish people on a blog where all I do is discuss things that have to do with me, what of it? I then discussed what the world would be like if idioms were real following a video I had watched on YouTube following the same sort of theme but with similes and metaphors. I then complained about some spooky driving I did where I believed I was in Slender Man (seriously, it was a bad night to be wearing a suit). I then wrote a post to reaffirm my love for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, it was going to come sooner or later. Here I discussed film-related things including the two trailers. Also, the new tv spot for Catching Fire came out today which includes all new footage and is set to Coldplay's Atlas which was written for Catching Fire (because it is just that awesome). I then wrote a post expressing my annoyance at the amount of acronyms in the world based on the amount of acronyms there were in the CFA (even the name is an acronym). I delved into the mind of Sandy and his logic the following day before answering some more random questions when I could not think of anything else to write about. The following two days were late posts and this was followed by a post on weird advertisements. I then wrote a post on some of the stupid things that have been said in court (which I found online thanks to Facebook). I then complained about study distractions,  neglecting to mention that a daily blog is a major one, before complaining about people who always told you way too much. July was ended with my review of The Way Way Back which I won tickets to thanks to Mix 101.1.

Thank you for supporting me and check back on Thursday for August with September and the start of October coming on Friday. See you tomorrow!

Daily Lukey: The Journey to 200 (Part 3)

So we have come to Part 3 (June) of this series of posts to celebrate 200 posts on this blog. We began the month of June with a post about the importance of writers; the people who make the show great. I then continued my weekend of writing with a post about fan-fiction that can sometimes add extra elements to a show you love to watch or has finished its run on television. I then came to a day where I had nothing to write about so I did the 25 random questions tag which you can check out, like the rest of these posts, by looking through the archive down below to the right. I then discussed regrets and what they can mean to us before I moved on to how privacy has been lost in our society. I then got sick of people talking about people as if they only had one trait, or category, and wrote a post about it. Then I wrote a post about YouTube before moving on to horrible drivers after going on a late-night learner driving outing (I may have lost myself towards the end of that sentence). I then discussed the different types of spoilt people (and Sandy made one of his first appearances here) before going through some anecdotes of what our parents have taught us.

I then wrote a post about blogs before starting a new series where I went through my YouTube subscriptions to get rid of the channels I had subscribed to over the years but never actually use anymore. This went for a total of six parts where each part was posted every second day. I discussed how much I enjoyed rainy days and my reasons for it. Can I just say how two hours ago it was pouring and now you go outside to a sunny and clear-blue skies. Damn you Melbourne Weather! Anyway, after the next installment of the YouTube series I wrote a post about an emergency fire alarm that went off at Werribee Plaza and the horribly unsafe (and uncaring) response from customers and business owners alike. After another day of YouTube I wrote a post about a horrible experience I had waiting to watch Despicable Me 2 (Don't judge me). I then, after another YouTube post, discussed the wonders of blogging and why I, and so many others, find it so appealing. Another YouTube post later I wrote about how my school claims to be 'green' yet uses enough paper to save a forest. After the final YouTube subscriptions post I wrote about another experience I had with a fire alarm at a theatre (I mean, first a cinema issue, then a fire alarm issue, then both. I was cursed). I then wrote a post about free periods and what people do during them which was followed by another short post due to that stupid Science Timeline assignment. I then rejoiced when I finally found relaxation after the Science poster was completed before publishing another post a day later about that feeling of accomplishment we get when we complete something that either took a lot of time or a lot of effort. I then complained (what's new) about irresponsible dog owners leaving dog poop in the middle of the path (and they still do it). On the second last day of the month I wrote about the Social Network Population before giving my review of King Kong Live on Stage which I had just seen (and am still reeling at by the way). That was June, be sure to check back tomorrow for July. August is coming on Thursday, and the final two months (September and the start of October) on Friday.

Thank you all so much for your support over the last few months, see you tomorrow!
