Natural/unnatural justice
Megs:
I had a very angry dream last night. I dreamt had two brothers, and they weren't Asian but white, and one was slightly older and one was slightly younger than myself. And I dreamt the older one was trying to get the younger one beaten up, by stealing some guy's girlfriend and pretending that little brother did it. (Or something like that, I think there was paint splashing in there somewhere). So I fully shouted at the older one in front of all our friends. I also made a very nasty comment about my older brother's not-so-flash GPA and declared it to everyone sitting in the lounge.
Anyway, I reduced him to a shamed wreck, and then our group of friends, in stunned silence, continued to fiddle with Pokemon figurines. And I felt this totally satisfied, vindictive pleasure.
Your thoughts? Maybe I'm subconsciously a merciless bitch with a twisted sense of justice... :[
But justice is entirely a human concept anyway. We could be the most merciless creatures in the universe and when an alien comes in a UFO they might be like, "damn, they have such things as punishments on this planet?" Yet they could probably blow up the planet for no reason and think they were being quite fair.
We should go into oneirology :D It'll help us on our journey of self-awareness and also to gauge our level of screwed-upped-ness. I still think your dream with the zombie party takes the cake.
^_^
In other news, I hate our (still unrevealed) blog banner, the third one that I'm working on. I was trying for a "graffiti art" effect and instead it looks like someone's suffered from a bout of emesis (love that word) on the computer monitor. Ugh, pixel vomit.
And I've realised why my tablet hasn't been working, it's because the battery's dead. It's lasted well actually, about four years (!) but it had green diarrhoea (I don't love that word, but since I bolded emesis...) inside the tablet pen and now I have to find a AAAA battery. I've never seen them in NZ but I haven't looked yet.
We could stick with the green banner we have now, the generic one. It's like the flag of Libya.
So we would be embracing the culture of this nation as well as representing, maybe, the green pastures of NZ where we can shove our sheep and children. But I'd still like to come up with something eventually.
Frivolous.

Long time no blog
Wil:
Hey. Haven't posted in here for a while, mainly because there has been no need to since we've been hanging out together lots.
Ha. Restaurant City is actually quite fun. I like to find the best layout for my restaurant to get the maximum benefits by not keep too many people waiting and using my staff and space as best as possible. I like that. But the other stuff is just frivolous, like having to clean the toilet all the time since I don't have enough staff to assign one as janitor.
I FINALLY how to 'step' songs for my DDR-equivalent programme on my laptop. So now I can create steps and install them to the programme and play with them for any song I want. It gets a bit tedious and repetitive after awhile but the results can be satisfying sometimes. Any requests?
Aloe juice has got to be one of THE most delicious drinks ever. Can I get an amen?
As you know, i'm actually quite enjoying Ouran Highschool Host Club :D I think i've grown a new liking for anime etc.
Good luck with your interviews. You can do great. You're a peoples person and you can speak well when you allow yourself. Don't lock up and panic and if you're finding that the words arne't just coming out just take a deep breath and start over, while looking at the interviewers in the eye.
"You're a hot mess and i'm falling for you, and i'm like hot damn let me make you my boo, cos you can shake it shake it shake it yeah you know what to do. You're a hot mess, i'm loving it - hell yes!"
I'm addicted to that song at the moment @_@
Mission Complete!

Floundering is a fish
Megs:
Yay, piano!
(I just misspelt that as paino. It's actually quite true when you're as unco-ordinated as I am.)
I can play like 3.5 bars of this piece now. Only because the third bar is where the left hand comes in.
My favourite piece from any soundtrack, ever. From since I was like 8. This guy is a genius x 12038325. He's Japanese apparantly, so I didn't expect anything less. :P
I've decided I might have to kidnap anyone who can play this and glue them to my piano stool.
Anywho!
Yesterday was great :D Amélie = new favourite film.
I hope you managed to find the people you were going to take clubbing with you. And stop leaving your phone in URLs! (Unidentified Random Locations. HA I just made that up.)

Pretending to be young parents was lol. We should have made off with the midgets on that playground while we had the chance!
This is actually nothing, but did you hear my use of vocabulary when I was talking to the girl at the counter at the swimming place about their contracts? I'd never felt so articulate!! Usually I feel awkward approaching people-at-counters. You need to be my sidekick at these scenes more often. Haha.

"Don't worry, tomorrow we'll be back for more frolic and fun."
Megs:
I have realised that I haven't been sticking the word "frivolous" in my posts for like the last how many posts, sorry! This should make up for it:
frivolous frivolous frivolous frivolous frivolous frivolous frivolous
Had my AYO audition this morning. I turned up at St. Peter's College on time, which is to say I was late, and was shown in by the reception lady who asked me if my last name was spelt right (it was spelt wrong/"WONG" all this year).
Anyway, the audition was sweet as, almost frivolous, I did a bit of chatting with Antun about uni and biomed/med and his friend who was also judging string performances. Ended up playing only three minutes of the Arpeggione (terribly) and two of the four excerpts they sent to us. I told him that when I go home and played it better I'd send him the recording. That works too, right? He laughed, like when I told him that med interviews were for making sure the students had qualities they want in doctors and weren't psycho (sic).
Did more backstage work at the Vector Arena today. Wore a Tibetan robe and a laminated lanyards with "PRODUCTION" written on it. Felt very important but of course I only helped with shifting stuff and showing people around. :P Do you know, if I had hung around backstage a bit longer than I did today I'd have met His Holiness in person. Tomorrow I'm sticking around backstage for real!
Ha it's funny. I was actually pretty tense at the beginning of His Holiness's speech because I hate politics and thought he'd talk a lot about Tibet vs China and somehow people would get upset, but it wasn't like that at all. I definitely felt peaceful after his speech. The columnist in the NZ herald who criticised him plus the correspondent who said His "holiness" was 'self proclaimed' don't know a thing.
And I just got back today from Gold Class at Sky City Cinemas in the city :D "Under the Mountain" was okay. Some pretty predictable events and some freaky stuff. Tim had VIP passes from his dad. But it was different this time, we didn't get waited on hand and foot. I was looking forward to the butter chicken, but still. Sweet deal :]
Could do with some bc right now though. Starviiing.

"Is it this paramecium?"
Wil:
Well, i'm not going to type out my day because you were there for the large majority of it.
Ha. I think I've had too much DDR - just before when I was typing in the password to log into blogspot, my fingers went spastic and I noticed that they were trying to type in beat with the music that I had playing! XD
Let's hang out more! I mean 'out' as in out of the house and maybe in town or else where, and terrorize little children.
I'm a bit tired. I have nothing to talk about anymore! I'm bored with this city. I want back in Dunedin so I can live in my awesome flat and do 'house-moving' things like buy new things for my flat and hold flat-warming parties! and I want to see my awesome Dunedin friends.
Hey you know what i've noticed? All my friends all go to Auckland uni (well, most of them) and they they'ved formed great friendships with each other and then they're like "oh Wil we've missed you so much. come play with us!" and then they act all exclusive when i'm around and all they do is chat about stuff that they did together and their uni (which I have no idea what they're talking about) and they don't even make an effort to fill me in or include me and so when they ask if I want to hang out again sometime I'm like "hmmm no thanks" and then they get all pissy at me. I mean yesh. It's not my fault they bored me to freaking death the first time I was out with them. Plus i've found some people to be more repulsive than I last remembered...
But you're excluded from all of that of course, dear Megs, cos you're awesome :D
Moral of the story: I want Dunedin back! Even with its scummy people, dirty, glass-littered streets and mouldy flats! Plus I want my eye candy back :D
Well, as you can see the ranting has started. It's only the tip of the iceburg, as they like to say.
I can't be bothered being creative so: frivolous.

Yay fun times etc
Megs:
Sup! I don't think there's much point me telling you about yesterday, because you were there, and your memory is better than mine :P But good times are good to record!
Things to keep in mind:
-In Game of Life, one should choose College over Career first.
-The Warehouse should stock up on clothes that fit us
-So should Postie +
-Aero chocolate is good (I'm scanning our photo now, will stick it on your Face later).
-We have to still watch Cloudy w/ Meatballs.
-We have to hang out with KayLynn more often, and in places other than an office xD
So, I got my interview offer yesterday. It was a really really really lucky thing. If I hadn't learnt violin when I was seven, I wouldn't have moved onto viola when I was like 10, then I wouldn't have joined all these orchestras and then the AYO this year, and then I wouldn't have gone to the dead-boring AYO AGM where Anne told me she got her letter. And later she reminded me to check my university email. (Haven't done that in a year, I had 259 new messages!)
IOUs:
You - $4.30 bus money
Anne - tub of ice cream
Marianne - 1 house, plus ice cream
I want to finish watching Amelie. The first half was really bizzare.
