The one with fresh starts!
cocopops: I have my orientation for uni tomorrow. I’m scared and excited all at the same time. I’m dreading the long drive every morning, but first semester i only have to go three days a week! What could be better than a 4 day weekend! Anyway, I went onto I.Flinders to check my emails, as per instruction because we were meant to get an email from our peer mentor [which i did] but i received an...
sigh.
so, i’m back from my hiatus. i know, i’ve been dearly missed, right? i know, at least, ali missed me =D i was gone due to a missed internet payment. not deliberate, my sister just genuinelly forgot to pay it. so the net got cut off on the 19th. she paid it on the 20th. i waited until the 28th before i rung up. they, for some reason, couldn’t unbar my net without me ringing up to...

We apologise for helping you to read and teaching you the English language, thus opening up to you the entire European civilisation, thought and enterprise.

ZAK FM
peterberkman: zachklein: heykurt: 466 people have listened for 20 minutes or more. and concludes People don’t need what’s best for them, just what’s good enough. Don’t you think that this is at least partially because most of the people who go to Zak.fm go because of your tumblog, meaning most of the people know you, meaning most of them enjoy your same musical tastes? Isn’t that the...
zak.fm
this website is genius. it just plays songs. the set up is great, apart from the fact that it doesn’t show the song that is being played. and that is easily fixed by typing a couple of the lyrics into google followed by the term ‘lyrics’. and bam! there you have it. and it helps that i’ve enjoyed almost every single on of the songs that i’ve listened to so far, and...
storytopping.
you want a story that can’t be topped? try sitting on the toilet, you know, doing your stuff… and then, all of a sudden, a stray mango rolls under the divider from the stall next door. what do you do? unfortunately, this didn’t happen to me. it did, however, happen to kim while i was in the stall next door. not the one which the mango came from, but the other side. i just...
Anti-Valentine
ali-with-an-i: Ok, yes I’m single, but this is still true. She’s not going to love you any more than she already does if you buy her bigger diamonds, 1000 roses and a candlelit dinner. If she does, she’s not worth it. You are selling your soul to multi-national corporations who continue to exploit the spending habits of millions on such “holidays” as Valentine’s Day. I spent some time at...
mash-entines day.
i propose a new holiday. it will be called mash-entines day. and on this day, everyone shall shower me with presents. or love. but presents are fine. this new holiday will fall on the 15th of february. this may or may not have been created out of spite at valentines day. or the fact that i don’t have a valentine. breaking up with your boyfriend 6 days before valentines day is NOT...
so if posting something to tumblr is called tumbling, then what should we refer to the act of reading someone’s tumblr, by way of their sight or one’s own dashboard. because whereas when someone asks what you are doing and you say ‘tumbling’, it sounds so.. interesting and unique. but when you say ‘reading someone’s tumblr’, it sounds so, wll, ordinary....
supergriff!
me: you really don't want the job of protecting me whilst i'm drunk.
griff: no, i actually like the job of protector.
griff: i get to see the ways that guys try and chat up chicks and just stand there pissing myself.
me: haha yeah.
griff: even more when the girls believe the bullshit.
me: lol
me: i pride myself on being able to see through it a majority of the time
griff: good good

griff: anything for mashley.

This soldier's future wife is one very lucky woman
juliaallison: An email I received in response to my query about men’s biological clocks, from a Georgetown classmate of mine, who is now serving as an officer in Iraq. What an amazing man he is … it’s so reassuring to know that there are men out there who feel like this. Julia, I have hit that point at a rather early age. It didn’t take me long to get bored of purely physical relationships with...
Reblog Your Answer
jakoblodwick: Do American hillbillies qualify as an ethnic group? If you are a Tumblr user, reblog this post with your answer. I think the answer is yes. No copying and pasting Wikipedia articles. i don’t know much about it, being an aussie, but i’d say that american hillbillies would be more likely to be classified as a different ‘class’, rather than a different ethnic...
“It’s not the stormy times we should fear - people hold on to each other...”
– Hisashi Ishii. i’d copied this quote into one of my journals about a year ago. i agreed with it then, and i agree with it now.
“interference from the speakers is the cruelest thing.
while waiting for a...”
– something i’d written a while ago. i love looking over things i’ve written. and i love writing. seems to be a good cycle.

wth. ws reading up on strange medical disorders, and found this. Paris syndrome is a condition exclusive to Japanese tourists and nationals, which causes them to have a mental breakdown while in the famous city. Of the millions of Japanese tourists that visit the city every year, around a dozen suffer this illness and have to be returned to their home country. The condition is basically a severe...
