Je veux je veux je veux

Ok, so this is probably now semi appropriate as we have been driving together. I was watching Top Gear this evening and I have decided that when I am older+rich+famous, I will have this vehicle as my four door car:



...the Maserati Quattroporte.

In other news, I was doing some random web surfing and came across www.stuffyoudothatbothersme.com. Many of the things listed on there bother me, but this one is really the story of my life:

Pen Thefts


I can think of nothing worse than losing a pen to a stranger in class. Seriously, its not cool to be a pen pilferer…you think you’re so sly getting away with my pens, but make no mistake, I ALWAYS remember who fails to return my pens.

Hey, We're Top of the World For Something!

I was reading an article about Andre Kim (1935 - 2010) just now and I was curious as to how he died. After a little Googling, it turns out he died of, in short, colon cancer. Is it strange that I am fascinated by the way people die? I feel a slight sense of pity when the obituaries about famous people end with deaths along the lines of suicide, accidents or just ...diseases that could have been prevented (if they had eaten fewer McDonalds' Big Macs, for example.)

Anyway, I came across this chart (below). So cheers to New Zealand and may Andre Kim rest in peace. I'm sure the fashion world is in mourning at the moment - but you'll have to consult Emma on that.


Nostalgia Part II

This post continues with the 'looking back' theme started by the Neopets post. I dunno whether Neopets is actually something that I'd get nostalgic about, however, as that would require me to have happy memories of it. I joined because it had its own stock exchange. Sadly, I only ever made losses on the stock exchange of Neopia and that stupid Chia broker stole lots of my money in transaction costs. It also annoyed me that I was never a "Master" at any of the games. Quel dommage. Anyway, the other day, my mother was reading in the newspaper that Bebo was losing popularity (tell me something I didn't know) and would probably either be sold or shut down. So, for nostalgic reasons, I logged onto Bebo yesterday and found this. It's from one of those 2006-2007 fads where you posted some standard form letter and your nearest and dearest friends begrudgingly filled in the gaps and tried to say nice things about you. Here is mine from you:

Dear Emma,

I LOVE you.

You have a nice EMPIRE.

You make me HAPPY.

You should ...get more slaves.

Someday I will ..*plots* overthrow the empire. *muahaha*

You + me = TIGHT. servant + empress.

If I saw you now I'd ..kill you. hahaha. (this is pretty messed up).

I want to SERVE/KILL you.

I would build a TEMPLE/STATUE/LIGHTHOUSE ("Emma - the wonder of the world) just for you.

If I could sing you any song it would be What if Emma was one of us.

We could RULE under the stars.

Love,
your faithful servant Keville

(P.S. this is crazy.)

...i think "awkward" is not what this letter is. it's simply crazy. o.O

Follow NCEA? Nah.

I thought it was hilarious that Twitter wanted me to follow NZQA...

Guess what? Deep fried Oreos.

As promised, the deep fried Oreos. Delicious Oreo cookies bathed in pancake batter and then deep fried to a golden goodness... mmmhm $5.75 for 3. Delicious balls of deep fried crap.....

Enjoy.

Outside: soaked in hot chocolate sauce and sprinkles...

Oh look at that! An Oreo!!

...Ok, seriously. I regret eating that thing now. Don't worry, I just had one.

I'm never sure what's appropriate for this blog. However, I have come to understand one thing: If it's amusing for both me (Yes, "ME" not "I") and Emma, it ....probably should be on this blog.

So today I received quite the amusing email and I thought I would share it with you!
Emma, this is my gift to you for today - that moment of amusement that hopefully will make all the law essays and crappy computer issues worth it.
