Today I discovered Mystery Google, via MLIA. Someone told me they were watching me through the window from the garden. I looked but didn't see anyone, and emailed this person. He said he was in the tree. Still nobody. I could only conclude this guy was either a midget/a leaf/a ninja. Well midgets wouldn't be able to climb our tree and leaves can't type on keyboards. So they must have been ninja. That or hiding underground, or in the rabbit hutch. I'm on to you, ninja person.
In other news: YAAAAY FOR BEING IN THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD! Well, not exactly, strictly speaking, but there are pictures of the parade from yesterday all over the back page of the papers, and Wil your face is probably one of the fuzzy dots in the crowd of fuzzy dots :D Woo! World famous in NZ.
Went to music lesson this morning, only my teacher was attending a funeral and I had a choice: wait til she returned or go home and come back for lesson at 6. Picked the latter, cos I've only practised once over the last two weeks. Yay! Well, not yay for the funeral so much. My sympathies to these strangers.
As Kaylynn would say, and as is blatantly obvious, I am suffering from ennui and freaking out about AYO audition and med interviews. aewkjfbgakwehfv.
I should organise a party, that'll make everything better! :D

"Santa's coming tonight tonight, Santa's coming tonight"
Wil:
So I went into town to meet up with a friend to catch up and have lunch. My bus journey into town was stopped early and we were all kicked off a couple of stops early cos of some parade.
I later found out that the roads were closed of because the santa parade was that day. Woo! So we spent all day watching the parade. It was okay. Half the floats weren't even christmas related, but whatever.
There was this one float. It had characters from this childrens cartoon. They were big and foamy and they were like "Let's dance!" and the music goes pumpin. Then this green character thing like does that dance move that girls do where you stretch your arms out to the side of you, lean forward thrusting your chest out and jiggle their boobs from side to side. Well yeah it started doing that and I found it hilarious. I found it hard to contain myself from giggling like a lunatic.
I found it hard to get free things because they would just walk past the older people and go straight to the little kids. I had to ask them all the time, "Can I have one of those?". I got myself a little fold-up hat thing which has a penguin on it! I think my friend regretted her decision to hang out with me cos I acted so much like a child, but damnit I want my free things!
Oooh! I also saw Tammy and Olivia there. They were in the cheerleading squad. I yelled out 'hi' to them. They noticed. woo!
Blah. It's so freaking humid and warm these days. I don't like it.
Bah, my optical mouse isn't being recognised by laptop. It won't work!
Dude, there were so many spongebob balloons at the parade. I wanted one! But they cost monnies.
Wow getting a bit tired.
I'm gonna cut this short. (not that my blog posts are that long anyway).
Quite a few of the parade floats were frivolous.
Mission Complete!

Gold Class, baby!
Megs:
Woooo, got waited on hand and foot at Sky City Cinemas this afternoon. Well, I could have, if I pressed the "GTFOver here button", and summon the waiters for food, but I didn't. The seats were excellent. Automatic Reclinable La-Z boyish chairs ftw. Physics can be such a pain in the patella, but it leads to robots the shape of chairs we can bend/straighten to our will. Muahhaha.
At either rate, the theatre was much better than the movie itself, by far. We watched New Moon. I'm not one to dislike something just because it's a fad; I've attempted to read Twilight twice (and failed to complete it). But New Moon is boring, with the most cliched of dialogues exchanged between an emotionally dependent moody teenager and her boys who can't afford shirts/don't exist. Dude, people don't say things like that in real life, they say that in every old movie that's ever been made. -_-
They served Butter Chicken on the Gold Class menu though :D I didn't have it this time, but now I know I will gladly go back. For a different movie. They should, though, train their waiters better in the art of fine dining! This lady had coke spilt all over her and all this waitress did was grab a cloth and say, "Do you wanna move to that seat?" Friv-o-LOUS. Honestly, WWSD?! (Like WWJD, but with Spongebob.)
My mother has now a credible theory for my bout of throwing up last night. FOOD POISONING. :( She forgot to clean the lid of the cooker before making rice.

Megs:
Yuck, totally suffered from emesis, last night. Four times. (Isn't that a pretty word? I find it pretty ironic. Just as the term nocturia is pretty pretty, but I haven't suffered from that in fifteen years.) I think the cabbage I had was too rough, or hard, or something... at any rate, my GI tract couldn't hack it, unlike yours with your cereal :P Chucking up is also especially more awkward when your rabbit is running around and around your feet wanting to play, and you're just kneeling by the lav going wtf is this. Thankfully I managed to shut Leo outside before actually doing it.
Beware the dodgy cabbage, children.
PS. Just added a playlist! I added the most frivolous songs I could think of, though obviously I could do with some of yours :P

"Do you feel me?!"
Megs:
Your idea for our banner is actually really snazzy. Why didn't I think of that?! I've already drawn a sushi on the moon, but I haven't coloured it. I could do both and see what you like.
PHANTOM LIMB is like, the spookiest thing. You know, like when you've lost an arm or a leg or some other protrusion of your body and yet you can still feel it itch and it drives you insane :( Do you think it has any psychological similarity to feeling like your phone is vibrating when in actual fact it isn't? I might have to look that up. It's also vaguely similar to your hearing things. :P That's interesting, because your door is sealed off by another door with a metal frame and like a mosquito net (wtf is with that? XD). So do you imagine hearing the classical "knock on wood" knock or the rattly metal?
To your brevities:
No, I'm sorry, we don't have any more cake. It's amazing how we thought it was so huge that we'd never ever finish it so Mum gave it all away in pretty much 3 days. I only had one slice, and it was a little one! :[ Sigh.
I'm out of texts! I've yet again used up 2000 texts this month! Remember the days when I never used a cellphone and you were like wtf?! Hard to recall, right? T_T I actually have some less frivolous messages to send to people, but I have to pay now. Dude, your idea to "CANCEL TXT2000" and then "BUY TXT2000" didn't work. Luckily it renews tomorrow.
I agree with what you say about "living through your children". Actually I have a sneaking suspicion I'd fall into that category of parents if I had midgets... I'm kind of worried! Yet another reason NOT to have midgets.
I never thought I'd say this, but it's too summery today. The brightness is giving me a headache.

"I'm gonna take you back to my house. I love the feeling when you touch me baby"
Wil:
I had dreams about zombies! Except I can't remember what really happened. I think the zombies and I were trying to come to a conclusion on some societal decision about our community. Ha!
You didn't answer my cake question!
I keep hearing the sound as if someone was knocking on the door... I want my dance pad to arrive already! It has been 19 days!
and I just got your txt asking where your 'garcon mignon' is. Never mind le garcon mignon! Where are our twins?! *nomnomnomnom* but I just realised. We have different tastes... so we'll have to find twins which are intermediates of your taste and mine.
Do you know what I really dislike? Parents who try to live their dreams through their children. So counter-productive and damaging to the parent-child relationship! Boundary fail!
I keep leaving my phone in places that i'm not and when I return there'll be like 5 new txt messages from you :P Sorry!
and i'm really sorry that my replies are always vague and short and just plain boring. It's just that I try to keep them short because most of the stuff I would really like to say is just THTT and if I tried anything complicated with my phone, I would just end up in fits of rage etc (you know the story).
I need a new phone! Geezus, Motorola sucks like a vacuum.
oooh you know how you should draw the banner? Incorporate a pic of me with the Otago Uni clock tower in the background (or something else Otago related) and a pic of you with the Sky Tower or something else Bucklame related in the background! It can be the one thing that isn't frivolous and irrelevant to us and TINASB.
Woo! Mission Completed.

Thursday actually sounds like "Third-day"
Megs:
Cookies to whoever gets the reference. Well Thursday would be the third, if Tuesday was the first day. Who made Monday the first day?! If weeks are cyclic and circles have no beginning, then technically any day could be the first day.
I'm back on my old laptop, because that's the one that won't reject the tablet, because I've forgotten how to do "digital art" with only a mouse. (I put that in italics and quotation marks because digital art sounds very proud and professional, when in fact I really only frivolously push pixels around on the screen and therefore, I hope, by acknowledging that I'm not actually pro at pushing pixels around on the screen makes me sound less like a pretentious git. :P ) Or at least, my basal ganglion has rusted and thus cannot assist my primary motor cortex as well as it did prior to my tablet-using-days. Sorry, sorry, I'll shut up.
So yes, I've been sitting here for a bit now, although not actually making our banner because the tablet ISN'T HERE. (I moved it, and getting it just seems like too much effort atm -_-)
WilPharma, ha! It's a sign!! You'll be saving the world from zombies and stuff! Dude, you'd better do so well next year that you get put up a stage or two and graduate by 2012, so you can fight zombies/inferi.
Today has been an okay day exam wise! High five. I think I could have done better... but meh :P You on the other hand, couldn't have done much better. Well done! I should tell the whole world what you got in this post AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE THIS POST BECAUSE IT'S A RULE, but only like two people read this thing anyway and they're us... XD Actually, the whole day has been pretty sweet. All the good stuff arrived kind of one after the other, like our like finding out about exams, and our Rinpoche coming from America, and the arrival of the stupa to keep an old leader's ashes, though not in that order.
Okay, just shifted the laptop, and it's now sitting in front of the monitor of the PC. Haha if the PC had feelings it'd probably be offended. Might get started on banner.
Random frivolous activity of the day: Writing LOL in the sand on Brown's Bay Beach and having people going "L...O...Love?" "No, 'lol'!"
...I like that, actually, going to put it on Facebook :P
It's like, half an hour later. Still havent started on Facebook. I mean banner! awehflabef. (Been preoccupied by Facebook.) Don't know if will ever get started properly.
I tend to sound out TINASB as "Tee-nasp" in my head!
It's like another half hour later, I still haven't started, and I just scared myself with a spark from the plug.

Thursday is the fourth day of the week
Wil:
My sister made cookies today. They are SO good. They're cooling off on a rack that's sitting right next to me and I can't stop grabbing them and munching away as I please.
You should make a nice pretty banner for TINASB (pronounced 'tin-ass-bee') so we can put it up and personalise our blog a bit more.
I might go help my sister make more cookies...
Yay for exam results coming out! They make me happy! and balance everything out ^_^
I'm currently watching Resident Evil (the CG one) and the pharmaceutical company that's making the vaccine for the T-virus is called WilPharma :P WOO! XD
Fifteen minutes later:
Hi I'm back! I've just finished mixing cookie dough! *exciting*.
OMG my internet is on dial-up speed! blah it's annoying because i'm downloading games and it's taking over like two hours!
You should come over! I've got heaps of games on my computer like Game of Life and Roller Coaster Tycoon and stuff.
How has your day been today? and seeing famous people? you never replied to my txt message!
I think the word 'frivolous' was the perfect word to describe our blog.
Mission Completed!
P.S Is there still cake left at your house? :P

"Even later ramblings" second cousin.
Wil:
Lovely blog post Megs. And yes, I was quite excited about our anon. commenter. I hope they will be a TINASB regular.
I just spent the last hour with my sister and brother discussing code words to use during emergency situations to communicate our states of distress or need of help. This arose due to last weeks incident when the pan caught fire in the kitchen. When I was trying to contain the fire I realised that I would need someone else in the kitchen, perhaps with a wet towel in case the whole pan itself caught fire or the fire itself worsened. So I screamed out my brothers name in a very panicked state and all I got was a "yeah?". I yelled at him to get up here but quickly remembered that he was crippled so I yelled at him to get my sister. I hear him calling for her from his computer and he yells back to me, "she says in a minute". "In a minute" is clearly NOT an option during an emergency.
So thinking about that experience I thought that maybe it would be a good idea to have some codes in place so that if someone was in trouble and needed immediate attention, they screamed out this code and everyone would drop everything that they are doing and listen for further instructions from the person who has initiated the emergency calling.
A "code black" is the highest emergency distress call. Situations where you would use this include the house being on fire. I mean sure you could just yell "the house is on fire!", but what if the house was on fire, the ceiling was caving in and the computers looked like they were about to blow up any second? You yell 'code black' and tell everyone to get out of the house. You see, just simply yelling "get out of the house" doesn't do much because most people don't take me seriously in this house. My brother would probably be like "go away, i'm playing a game!" (ignoring the fact that the houes is on fire and the ceiling is falling apart). So by stating a 'code black' emergency, I initiate a 'no questions asked, just get out of the house' response.
We hope to never have to use a 'code black' in our lifetime.
We also came up with a couple more codes such as 'code white' and 'code plus' for various other situations such as having a break in. We're now in the process of organsing what we would do in a civil emergency such as what to do if our house gets destroyed by a tornado and where we would meet or leave notes at etc.
And since I seem to be the only one who knows first aid (which is so important) I might hold a little first-aid session for my brother and sister at some point just to teach them the basics. I'll use my 'First-Aid: Skills for Life' manual which I got from my first aid course that I did in October. You should come along!
Woo! This post has been a little less frivolous!

Even later ramblings
Megs:
EXCITING NEWS PEOPLE, we have our first anonymous commenter!!! I didn't even have to badger/coerce this person!! Wooo. And yes Miffy, you're partially right, this is indeed what happens to pre-medders, but we still have med to occupy our minds, although we'd rather wish we didn't, so we talk about frivolous things, like beavers or oysters, instead.
Anyway, Dear Wil,
Hell, why are we making rules up for each other? I vote that we can post 19824738715 times a day if we want/even physically possible/somehow end up with that kind of time.
Although actually, I kind of like the idea of a set of rules. Because list making is fun! And it gives it kind of an official and very important feel. (Omg what is wrong with me?)
The Rule Book/Page aka The This is Not a Sushi Bloggic Oath:
1. No editing of the other person's post.
(We established that at my house when we were making this.)
I hereby swear by sushi, butter chicken, ice cream and Wil's turtle that I will adhere to the above rule.
Okay, so one rule makes a pathetic list, but it's still very authorative and important. We can add more later I think.
My mother and I cleaned the house this morning!! We changed the crappy curtains downstairs so they're now not crappy. And used the vaccuum cleaner to clean away the dead insect/arachnid graveyard hidding at the bottom corner under the table. I'm regretting not taking a before/after picture earlier, because having to put the dead insects/arachnids back and changing the curtains again just to take that photo would be inconvenient.
And then we had Vietnamese for lunch.
^_^
Today I saw that lady who grabbed me by the wrist at Glenfield and started rubbing products on me when we were there (remember her?!) thrust a brochure at me and I took it. I swear, I'm always accosted by salespeople/bums on Queen Street because I pretend to look interested, or I feel rude. >_< But luckily I hurried off this time. Phew!
I'm still full from lunch. My eating patterns are whacked. I don't think I could eat any more icecream at your place, though if you have some left I'll oblige. Candy is good, I'll have that.
PS. You make my house sound unstable, crappy and ancient!! It isn't folks, okay. Just because it rattles doesn't mean we're expecting a letter from Extreme Makeover Home Edition people any time soon (they have to get back to us... :P)
PPS. Dude, you should come up with a spiffier name for your textbook, like This is Not a Japanese Textbook (Pardon, je ne pas parle francais, and that's the only French I know, except "Regarde le garcon la bas" and "il est mignon" [I'm really sorry for butchering this language with my spelling]).
Peas out!
EXCITING NEWS PEOPLE, we have our first anonymous commenter!!! I didn't even have to badger/coerce this person!! Wooo. And yes Miffy, you're partially right, this is indeed what happens to pre-medders, but we still have med to occupy our minds, although we'd rather wish we didn't, so we talk about frivolous things, like beavers or oysters, instead.
Anyway, Dear Wil,
Hell, why are we making rules up for each other? I vote that we can post 19824738715 times a day if we want/even physically possible/somehow end up with that kind of time.
Although actually, I kind of like the idea of a set of rules. Because list making is fun! And it gives it kind of an official and very important feel. (Omg what is wrong with me?)
The Rule Book/Page aka The This is Not a Sushi Bloggic Oath:
1. No editing of the other person's post.
(We established that at my house when we were making this.)
I hereby swear by sushi, butter chicken, ice cream and Wil's turtle that I will adhere to the above rule.
Okay, so one rule makes a pathetic list, but it's still very authorative and important. We can add more later I think.
My mother and I cleaned the house this morning!! We changed the crappy curtains downstairs so they're now not crappy. And used the vaccuum cleaner to clean away the dead insect/arachnid graveyard hidding at the bottom corner under the table. I'm regretting not taking a before/after picture earlier, because having to put the dead insects/arachnids back and changing the curtains again just to take that photo would be inconvenient.
And then we had Vietnamese for lunch.
^_^
Today I saw that lady who grabbed me by the wrist at Glenfield and started rubbing products on me when we were there (remember her?!) thrust a brochure at me and I took it. I swear, I'm always accosted by salespeople/bums on Queen Street because I pretend to look interested, or I feel rude. >_< But luckily I hurried off this time. Phew!

Evening ramblings
Wil:
No there isn't a rule against blogging in the earlier hours of the day, but the real question is: are we allowed to blog more than once a day? Or is it strictly a one-blogpost-a-day thing?
Dude, you need to come over to MY house. I might fall through the floor at your house. I can feed you. However, we have no more ice cream cos we ate it all...
We have candy though. Come for candy, at least!
Yeah, next house party theme: sushi. Come dressed up as your favourite filling, wrapping yourself in a white sponge mattress rolled up in black cloth. Instant sushi costume. Our house party would be yummy in more ways than one.
You know what? I've gone completely off-course with my French grammar text book. I've pretty much ignored it for the past couple of days. I won't have it finished by the end of the month D:
Are you still doing the cover page for it? I realise that I haven't given you the text for the cover page yet. It's going to be something horribly boring like 'Le guide concis de grammaire francaise' (The concise guide to French grammar). Yeah just use that and storm up a pretty Frency cover for me :D
Megs! Go clubbing with me! Break the house rules and sneak out! :P I'll definitely get you home by 4:30am, no worries about that. Just sneak back in quietly and nobody will have known!
I wonder when i'm going to get my bond back from Carrington College. I want my money back! Apparently we're suppose to get a Carrington Year book type thing too but I'm not sure how they're going to get it from us now that we've all moved out.
I'm finding it hard to use the word 'frivolous' in my posts now. Ha! I just used it!
Mission Completed!

Early ramblings
Megs:
I was wondering if it was too early to be blogging, but since when did we rule that blog posts were made at night? :P You're probably still asleep! You should wake up and come over.
I'm sorry but I laughed when I read about succinate and that Health Sci has ruined your life. I guess Biochem has just brought out the worst in me in general. You will now see things like pyruvate dehydrogenase lurking in every corner!!! Ready to jump out and decarboxylate you. We could make that into a movie, you know. Us shrinking into midgets and being attacked by enzymes.
I can't believe I just suggested that. I think Biomed has ruined my life too.
Ha I have a tendency to do what you did with people and names. Then I remember their names like 3 days later. Fail! Be glad you're not famous (yet) or it would happen to you like every single day.
Yay for imitating sushi! If you make some you should wake up and come over and bring that too. XD I do hope the recipe is what you mean, because sushi aren't very fun to imitate, they don't make very interesting noises. :P Sorry! That was frivolous.
Sigh. I suppose I should clean the house. OR even better, I could trash it and press Ctrl+Z, and it'll just look nicer by comparison.

Had way too much food today...
Wil:
Greetings!
First off, I agree with having those keyboard shortcuts in real life. My life 'ctrl-z' button would be worn down to a knob by now, probably.
Plus, does anyone else think of 'succinyl-CoA' or 'succinate' when they see the word 'succintly'? Ha. Health Sci has ruined my life!
Today has been an awesome day. I had dinner at my friends place because he's leaving for Copenhagen tomorrow for some international youth forum on Climate Change held by UNICEF. Some other people from North Shore City Council (NSCC) were invited as they worked with him and his mother, as she worked at NSCC as well. I actually knew some of them too as I had worked with them before when I was in high school. This lady came up to me and she was all like "Wilson! It's been such a long time since I last saw you. It's good to see you!" and I smiled and said hi back but for the life of me I could not remember who she was and whether I had ever seen her before. It was rather embarrasing for me!
I had some sushi today. It was very interesting. The filling consisted of avocado and seaweed salad. It was so good. I'm going to buy some seaweed salad and try to imitate this sushi.
I really have nothing more to say. I would really like to go to sleep but I have some jobs to get done.
My post really has been frivolous and pointless.
Mission completed! :D

For the sake of summarising
Megs:
Ugh, I leave the computer for like two minutes for the bathroom and then have to tell Michelle to get off when I get back. It's like leaving your sandwich out on the deck because you can't take your sandwich indoors with you for whatever reason, birds come and attack it no matter what.
And the internet broke just now, so it's like your sandwich falls apart. Geez! Good thing this blogspace thing automatically saves its drafts. Come to think of it, lots of MS software does that if your computer crashes halfway through your assignment or something. Yay, advancement of technology! Next stop, teleports and time machines. I've taken to getting OCD and pressing Ctrl + S about ten times in a row when I'm using photoshop, just out habit. Though I tell you, every time something does crash it happens after I forget to CtrlS for a bit. Ugh.
Wouldn't it be great if these buttons were available IRL?! If you stuff up something you could be like CRAP, *restart* and go back to where you last saved! And it would be even better if other people didn't have to notice. Life would probably be perfect actually, if slightly neurotic.
(Hee, I like this, "Draft autosaved at 13.03" just flashed at the bottom).
Other shortcut buttons which should be available in real life:
Ctrl+Z
Ctrl+F (for finding stuff)
Ctrl+A
Ctrl+C
Ctrl+V (the above three for shifting heavy objects, like for when you're moving)
Alt+Tab (for jumping to different places)
ANYWAY, on blogs, which is what this post was meant to be on :P I've never blogged properly for long, because I get bored or busy and then lose interest entirely. But that was for stupid three-lined journal entries which nobody read like when I was on GaiaOnline and Myspace... ha XD I feel like I'm meant to be summarising my life in a few words! Which is hard! Though this will be easier because I'll just put what I can't be bothered texting out to you. Wil!! You still have to tell me what your freaky dream was about! and then the dream that followed that one! You're like two months overdue. Imagine if that was like a baby or something.
Was about to enter some rant here, along the lines of making our own contribution to UrbanDictionary to reverse the defamation of the symbutton of sushi, but I think that'll do. Well do you reckon we should? I suppose whoever gets there to read our entry would have to read the other one too.
Hey, what about defining symbutton? Now that's definitely something we came up with. Well I did. :P
Anyway, to succintly summarise life in a few words, or at least what I've done this summer so far... you know most of this:
-Thrown out 13kg of clothing
-Weighed self with 13kg of clothing and realized have gained 15kg minus 13kg
-Had a split-second panic about wasting time not studying
-Printed out sheet music (audition for AYO)
-Not practised for audition
-Restaurant Citied
We need a new vacuum cleaner! Can you bring one next time your over, which is hopefully soon? :P Thanks!
I had butter chicken today at Albany mall today! It should be an accomplishment. The guy at the counter told me it was "One hundred dollars". And then he said "Five dollars!" when I grabbed a straw for the drink. I said, "You're not serious!!" Ha. I hope he thought I was fooled. Tricking someone to think you were tricked... doesn't serve any particular purpose. Never mind.
This post is really long and frivolous, I should end this here. So much for succint and summarised. What's nice and conclusive? Eat your greens, midgets! Have something fatty as well, that'll clear the sinuses. Curtains mango fishcakes.

This is not a sushi blog: How its name came to be.
Wil:
The name of our blog is "This is not a sushi blog". For our sparse audience, this title is rather meaningless and frivolous (duh). One might wonder how such a dynamic duo such as the Dream Team (Megs and Wil Inc.) came about such a peculiar name for their own little spot on the internet.
Well it begins with a piece of paper on which we did our brainstorm to think up a title for our newly conceived blog. One word written down in scribbly 'Wil' handwriting was 'pushi', which was a common result of trying to type 'sushi' while using predictive txt messaging (major fail on the mobile phone companys part!). So for the majority of this year, 'sushi' was fondly known as 'pushi'.
Incorporating our love for pushi, I wanted to name our new blog "The Art of Pushi". Being the street smart boy that I am, I decided to google the word 'pushi' just to make sure that it didn't have some vulgar or foreign-ly offensive meaning that we weren't aware of. Well, it's safe to say now that Megs and I aren't too keen on the word 'pushi' anymore thanks to Urban Dictionary. Google it.
I then made the suggestion of simply using sushi: "The Art of Sushi", but then it sounded misleading, as it implied that our blog was going to be about, well, the art of sushi, which it clearly was NOT going to be. I said to myself, "Our blog isn't going to be about sushi!". It was at that point that Megs (your genius is showing..) suggested that rather trying to name our blog on what it was going to be about, we should name it on what it wasn't going to be about. So that's where the name of our blog came from: This is not a sushi blog.
P.S, Megs has the most annoying keyboard ever (well, more like annoying asian settings) back on her home computer.

'This is not a sushi blog' is born!
Wil: I'm finding this very exciting. This is a blog that will link Megs and Wil when i'm down in Fumedgm (Dunedin) where we'll share our daily joys and experiences. Our friends can also read this and see what we're up to: mainly my Bucklame (Auckland) friends catching up with what I do in Dunedin because i'm important like that :P
Basically this blog is for us to rant about crap and share art and fun things like "poetry". Well, that's more for Megs cos she's arty like that but for me, this is more an outlet to bitch about the world. It's true.
Megs: I'm hungry! :(
Wil: I really am sorry I can't take you out for butter chicken. This is a bit awkward, communicating with each other via this blog when you're sitting just 1 metre away from me. This blog will serve its proper purpose when i'm finally down in Fumedgm!
Megs: Or just at your house, which will be in about 15 minutes, or half an hour, or something.
Ha you know what we should do, we should hide when your sis gets here, though she'll probably be mad. I did that once when I was 6 and a mate came over :D That was fun! Anyway. Woo!!
Wil: Let's end this now.
Megs: Pineapple
