Just when I thought I had left high school English five years behind me, along comes ENGL118. Poetry, lyrics and monologues. Sssymbolism! Great Merciful, what have a signed up for? I pissed around in English classes, ffs. Thank goodness it's only for six weeks but I foretell a long six weeks.

Now I remember why I previously vehemently decided against enrolling in creative writing papers...

It is 11H05 on January 2^nd, 2010. The temperature is currently 32.5°C. I am meeeeelting! I wish to Lake Rotoehu so I can swim to my heart's content and perhaps update my feeble tan a little. Alas, that is not possible so maybe I'll go swim in my bathtub...

Happy New Year, peeps! :D

Stupid homicidal maniac interludes aside, the guy has a lot of very good points. Well worth watching!

Thanks, _mallen!

I'm in Palmerston North, after spending the better part of a week out by Rotoehu. Gorgeous weather the whole time, only to arrive to it pissing rain in PN. 'Twas a quiet Christmas this year, and smaller too.

Bah, can't be buggered recounting it. No-one gives a toss. :P
