London and the value of being a geek.

Hello. This is going to be very short. Before I begin I am not even going to do my own challenge, just because I can't be bothered. By the way, superfluous means over the top basically, but I'm not 100% certain that's how you spell it.
This week..
hmm.. Wow, for some reason, (because I have a freaky memory) I can memorise a deck of cards in about 5 minutes, but I can't even remeber what I did this week. I hope to God it's because I'm tired, otherwise I have senile dementure.. dementure, dementia, however you spell it (I can't even remeber spellings xD). Anyway, there was something that happened, well obviously; You remember.. I'll choose another word.... you know when I kept on talking about law and stuff every single week, and I never spoke about anything else (As if you could forget), well, It actually came to use sooner than I expected. Basically, some chavs were shouting stuff about my lovely curly hair, obviously not knowing that they were insulting a geek, who's geekyness was his strength in situations like this. They used they're clearly impecible, infallible, astonoshing, imagination, and geniously arrived at the name 'curly-wurly', which was.. I think.. an attack at my hair. In case you don't have it where you are, a curly wurly is a chocolate bar we have here (Btw, If you do know what one is, I don't want to sound patronising). There was a group of about 8 of them, similar age to me- some a little older and some a little younger. I knew a few of them for some reasons, I think one of them was called Latex or Laton or something and then the other three go to a school near me, One of them easily recognisable by his size, as he squeezed his way out of the chip shop to join into a chant about chocolate aimed at offending my hair, no joke.. crazy, huh? Anyway, knowing the law, I bravely (or at least tried to appear so) approached them and suggested that they stop chanting. Of course, I was outnumbered approximatley 1000-1 (well strictley speaking about 8 to 1) But I knew something which meant if they did do anything, it would only help me. That is when I put on my most intelligent and smug sounding, 'bbc' voice and told them that they had just harrassed me, and if I wanted to, I could charge them all. To make sure I didn't sound vauge, and to convey an idea that I knew everything about law there is (in fact I know next to nothing, I am just good at speaking), I stated the exact laws they were in breech of: The 1986 Public order act, section 5, stating that it is against the law to use disorderly behaviour within the sight or hearing of a person likeley to be caused harrasment, alarm or distress as a result of this behaviour. They had no defence as I could prove all of the things I had to if this ever went to court. It was also anti-social behaviour, and breeching the peace. I told them that I knew where four of them go to school (which I do) and that I would be able to identify them and if I took immediate action, the police would find all of them so I wouldn't have to go all sherlock holmes on thier asses. Their smirking died down, and I walked off with my blood having turned nearly into pure chemicals. I love being a boffin.
The best part about it, is that he only reason I know that law, is because I have been studying a case about that particular law.. for.. absolutley ages.

London- Well, I know it is the first time you've travelled alone, there is a first time for everything and if you have the opportunity to go, then why not. But I'd plann it, otherwise you'll end up doing loads of really crappy things, unless you enjoy getting lost, travelling accross London's noisy, dirty and smelly underground to end up in some really touristic shop where all you can buy is those stupid little plastic union Jacks and mini London busses. I have been to London numerous times, and half of them have been spent standing in a packed tube train, staring at the rude creature next to me who keeps staring at me. The other half have been fantastic, fun trips. There are some obvious things to do, like the London eye and stuff, but there is a science musium which was really cool and had a massive dinosaur as well as a life size model of a blue whale. Btw, is next summer, this summer, or the summer of 2010?

Bye :D

The weeks from hell

The next couple of weeks is gonna be packed with school work and a lot of assignments for me to do, and exams to study for. I am so not looking forward to it, but when it’s all done in the beginning of June I’m done with the spring semester. I did however get accepted to the summer course so I’ll be starting to weeks of class immediately after all my exams is done. Then I’m gonna have a couple of weeks off before the exams for the summer course. So as you can see I’ll have a lot to do. And on top of all of this my sister is having her baby in 4-6 weeks, could be sooner or later, and I’m going on the cruise to Riga and Visby.

I’ve also started thinking about going to London next summer or so but I’m not sure because I’ve never travelled completely alone before. A sign for the fact that I should go though is that when I was at the mall today a randomly got a travel guide book for free and it was for London.

Since I’m really tired and has a lot to do I’m gonna move on to the questions.

Mine: The longest I’ve slept I think is 24-26 hours straight.

Chris: The oldest thing I personally own is a teddy bear that I got when my grandfather died and it’s about 70 years old, but it looks like it could have been bought yesterday because both he and I have taken very good care of it.

Sam: As you can see I didn’t do your challenge this week. Mainly because I don’t have time but also because I don’t have a working camera at the moment and when I started writing this blog today I didn’t know exactly what superfluous meant so I couldn’t properly use it in sentences.

New question: I need some advice, what do you think about my plans of going to London. Should I consider doing it? I mean it is after all a big city and it would be my first time travel alone.

We will stop these tourist killers.

I have decided some deviation from my usual, by posing today, because I felt like it. Also, for some ultra cool reason I have no school for the next four days. Anyway, I'll begin with this week, where on wednesday Barack Obama was celebrating his 100th day as the president. Of course, I still remeber the blogs we wrote when he was first selected and 100 days seems and awfully long time ago considering that feels as if I wrote it about five minutes ago. Unfortunatley, the fact it seems the world is just getting over him (although the media still insists of shoving down stories about how he bought a new pet fish and what toothpaste he uses e.t.c.) raises questions about if he is fullfilling his role of the president of the untited states of america. But, I personally don't think we've given him enough time to discover if he is a peice of stainless steel or waiting to rust, if that makes any sense what so ever. But let's look what history has shown us; Hitler: (Please don't misunderstand the fact I am comparing Hitler to Obama xD) I doubt anybody could become a world hate figure in 100 days apart from George Bush. And I beleive that Barack Obama has been much better than George Bush ever was through-out his entire career. I mean SO much better. For a number of reasons: He doesn't declare war on 'trrists' every time you say hello to him and, more importantly, he has completed evolution. And I really had no idea, why he kept on declaring a war on tourism; I myself have been a tourist and I did not appreciate how I was a branded killer for being a tourist:

we will stop these tourist killers

But back onto Hitler, I have proen that my maths teacher, is in fact Hitler. Hitler began breaking a few rules, like making an army (as germany was banned from doing so after WW1) Then he moved onto worse things, yet the surrounding countries were hesitant to intervien. It took something ridiculous for anyone else to think 'should we stop this guy?'. That is exactley my math's teacher. Let's just compare WW1 to her getting her job, don't ask why, other than they were both terrible and led to the death of millions of children (that is, of course, not to attempt to play down the seriousness of WW1 in any way). Then she begins breaking a few rules, but no other teachers will intervien so long as they are cosy.
So I have rambled for quite a while about.. well technicaly, nothing, but anyway, I have one more thing to do: Les questions:
Longest without sleep: I never sleep. Well.. ok maybe I do, but to be honest I have no idea. I think about three days when I was in cornwall with mates.
Longest sleeping: I think your 12-14, is my equivalent of a nap. I would therefore have to conclude the longest I ever slept is probably a number of years.
My own question: Well, I already speak every language ever made ( I wish), and I can already fly (on an areoplane), I can already read minds (My own mainly being the key point in that), and I can already beat anyone in a fight (mainly because I am a very quick runner); meaning I am left with the reduntant and rather amusing skill of being able to breath fire. Although, given the choice I would chose all of them.
My new question: Although I could ask 'do you think Barack Obama has done a good job so far' I feel like something different... hmm.


Some considerable time and many seconds later:

A challenge, because people seemed to like them: I challenge you to see how many dry crackers you can eat in two minutes and film it. If you can't or can't be bothered to do that then I challenge you to see how many times you can fit the word: superfluous, in context into your blog. If you do both then brilliant. I know that's cruel, but sorry xD
That's all for today Bye!

My room exploded...

... Ok, not actually but it might as well have. I decided to rearrange all the furniture in my room and give it a good cleaning! After finishing off series 2 of spooks, I spent the greater part of the evening taking apart my room, moving everything, and then putting it back together again.

Nothing terribly exciting has happened since my last update, other then I am finally done school for the semester, and am now officially on summer break. That being said, I seem to only have one day off and that is tomorrow. Since I'm working Thursday evening and then have to get up bright and early to start my new job on Friday. We are heading to the mountains for the weekend (Canmore) about an hour away, for a staff retreat. The idea is that we can get to meet everyone in a casual environment and also get trained for our jobs. The real work will start the following Tuesday. It will be nice to get out of the city and I am looking forward to the trip. Speaking of trips my parents have decided to once again go on vacation to america, this is the 6th time in the past 4 years! They will be visiting the west coast with stops in San Diego and Los Angeles. Hopefully things work out for my own travel plans to San Francisco in June, but I shall keep everyone posted.

Questions:

Mine: I think the longest I've stayed awake is around 48-60 hrs. I haven't really had a need to stay awake for much longer. The worst was on our trip to europe last year. We left Calgary at noon, landed in Frankfurt at 9:00 am local time, drove to visit our cousin in Köln, then drove back to Frankfurt, arrived around midnight, waited around for our flight to Tunisia at 4 am, arrived in Tunisia at 7:00 am. So not only did I not sleep for those two days, but I also had horrible jet lag!

Emma: Longest I slept was probably about 12-14 hrs.

New: What is the oldest thing you own, and where did it come from?

I miss so much

This week has been pretty uneventful and has mainly contained schoolwork, and that is how the coming six week will be too. I did however meet up with some friends and we watched Mamma Mia the sing-a-long version and ate cake and chocolate.

Last Friday I got an appointment for today at a hairdresser and during the week I changed my mind several times because as I’ve said before I have a hard time making decisions and my hair is very important to me. So today I went to the salon and got my new haircut and I actually like it. But I think it’ll take some time getting used to, I haven’t had bangs (fringe) for the last decade. Gosh, that made me feel old… I think I’m gonna start saying that I haven’t had bangs for the last 9-10 years instead, it sounds like a shorter amount of time.

Let’s move on to the questions because I have to go to bed since I have a morning class again tomorrow.

So my obsession is of course Internet and my computer if you hadn’t already guessed it.

Sam: My first thought was to choose the ability to read peoples mind, but then I realized that would mean me knowing everything people thinks of me, both the good and the bad and I don’t know if I would be able to take that. I think I’d rather live in ignorant bliss and choose the ability to have an instant foreign language.

Chris: The longest I’ve gone without sleep is around 60-70 hours I think. I’m not 100% sure.

So my question is gonna be on the theme of sleep too, “How many hours is the most you’ve slept for at once?”
