Word of the Day: dolorous - marked by, causing, or expressing grief or sorrow

had training today and while rolling with some guy, he said my hair smelled very nice. this has happened before. it's quite heartening to know that my hair can stay pleasant-smelling for so long, coz i can never tell. the weather today has been very good

it's been said that when you dream of a car, what the car really signifies is your physical body. the other night, i dreamt i was driving with two passengers. i was on the road and i missed a turning, so i swerved over the road divider. the car flipped sideways, landed on its side and the momentum caused it to flip back upright, and we continued driving almost as if nothing had happened. i wonder what that means.

in other news, my ps3 has finally died. apparently there's a fix, but apparently it requires a heatgun, which sounds cool but which i do not have. i hate sending in electronics for servicing because it's friggin troublesome. also, the last time i sent my phone in for servicing and it was a phone i really liked alot but the fix only lasted a few more months before the phone screwed up again. i would like to think sony provides better service than nokia but omg zzz

Word of the Day: myrmidon - (Capitalised) a member of a warlike Thessalian people who followed Achilles on the expedition against Troy / a loyal follower, especially one who executes orders without question

the myrmidons were the people who brad pitt told to take it, because it was theirs

i was reading the newspapers and i always like looking out at the top of the Home section for interesting headlines, and the featured stomp topic for discussion on talkback was "Why are arts students always looked down upon?", which i thought was interesting because i was/am an arts student and ive never felt that way. so i went to visit the forum page, which you can find here, and then i realized that the original poster didnt even know what he/she/it was talking about, and then coz stomp has all these other interesting-sounding thingies to look at, i wasted 10 minutes of my life that i was spose to spend studying

Word of the Day: intrepid - fearless; bold; brave; undaunted; courageous

sleepy, and in no mood to study. there was something i wanted to talk about before i talked about watever im going to talk about next, but i forgot what it was

while the dave matthews band may have composed the most swoon-worthy pervy song ever when they wrote "crash into me", there is something about chris carrabba's (frm dashboard confessional) voice that makes even the most pervy subject matters sound touching and emotional. for example, "the secret's in the telling", where he sings about a booty-call buddy, and "belle of the boulevard" (xoxo), where the music video (the actual one, not the one i linked) implies that he's singing about a hooker

i saw this on a bumper sticker, and on someone's tshirt very recently, where it says "be vegetarian, you might come back as a cow", or something stupid along those lines. it annoys me no end. suppose reincarnation actually existed, and it extended to any living organism, what if you came back as a juicy apple or broccoli? also, does that mean that vegetarians who subscribe to this line of thinking would rather come back as a cockroach than a cow? also, something along the lines of morality and consciousness that i should talk about but can't really be bothered to now

Word of the Day: benison - blessing; benediction

life is always hard / when you're the belle of the boulevard

the ending of assassin's creed 2 gave me goosebumps. on a related note, ive never played left 4 dead, although i sorta wanted to when i first heard that it was coming out, and now left 4 dead 2 has come out and i still havent played the first one. but i digress. i wonder what the allure of l4d is, and how it manages to attract girls to play as much as it attracts guys. i wonder whether they enjoy playing as the humans more or as the zombies. im glad that there're ppl making a new AvP game. i very much miss playing AvP2, although i dont think anyone knows what im talking about. i cannot adequately convey the immense pleasure that comes with being able to walk on walls, and now that i say it like that, it sounds pretty stupid.

on a related note, i think my eyesight is slowly going; i've been spending too much time staring at screens. i always thought that after a certain age, your eyesight more or less stayed the same and would return to baseline if you overstrained it. my grandma doesnt wear spectacles. then again, my grandma didnt have nothing to stare at to spoil her eyesight. then again, she watches a lot of channel 8 serials if im not wrong. oh well.

i really can't wait for exams to be over, not because im stressed out over them. actually in a manner of speaking, i am, but it's more like im stressed out over the exam period rather the exams themselves. but ive never been more excited about a post-exam period than i have been this semester because of how rife it is with potential. of course, i could always get lazy, which would probably result in me having to wear specs on a consistent basis by the time school restarts, but for now there is always idealism and wishful thinking to get me angsty and impatient

Word of the Day: perseverate - to involuntarily repeat a particular response, such as a word, phrase, or gesture, despite the absence or cessation of a stimulus, usually caused by brain injury or other organic disorder / to repeat something insistently or redundantly

im surprised this word didn't pop up throughout the course of abnormal psych. im really only writing this post to whine and garner sympathy because i got kneed in the face today. specifically, i got kneed in the left front tooth, which worried the hell out of me for like 20 seconds until i calmed down and prayed and stuff, because i have this paranoid fear that my teeth will get knocked out one day, which is both annoying in and of itself and troublesome to fix and it's a problem that stays with you for life. i used to have dreams where i would pluck my own teeth out or they'd get removed by some other strange method and id wake up and feel whether my teeth were all still there. it's kinda like the dreams where you go to the toilet, but worse.

in other news, there is no news. which should be good news, but isnt really. my exams are starting in a week's time, though, which doesnt really mean anything to me. on an unrelated note, i felt stressed today about vague possibilities of the future

Word of the Day: quiescent - being in a state of repose; at rest; still; inactive

i've just finished reading "the little prince". it is all at once a beautiful, inspiring, and depressing story
