Yes, I know. But there are things like comebacks, thank goodness.

Hola! I know, its been ages, but exams and vegging has been taking up quite a bit of time. But nevertheless, thanks for hanging in there.

1. Love Supermassive Black Hole. And City of Delusion. and Soldier's Poem. Muse. Mmmm.



2. Babies and Such
You may have noticed that in movies /real life (its amazing how much life imitates art and vice versa) people romanticize the idea of having a baby together. What they don't consider though , is the fact that "baby" is just a euphemistic term for a little human that screams alot.

But sure. It probably is romantic to have it, this little genetic milkshake that turned out human after all, despite the fact that your mother-in-law called you a monster.




But it doesnt always stay that way.Babies are tiny, they look good in the nook of your arm, much like an expensive Armani handbag.They smell of baby powder and look at you with ignorant, big eyes, and giving you the occasional toothless smile which is more often than not a soundless burp escaping than a real smile.




But babies grow up into toddlers. Toddlers have the lifestagial predisposition to create catastrophe using only crayons, a chocolate bar and the cat. They also take it as a given that you are made entirely out of rubber, and frequently try and contort your finger/earlobe until you are yelping in pain.Toddlers in turn, turn into Primary School Children.
Why don't you ever hear people in movies saying "I want a Primary School Child with you" ?Ditto for High School Children.



Despite every single one of them going through what they perceive to be agony and emotional turmoil(but in reality could be a bad batch of curry and a bout of the zits) they share a few common traits.



In early puberty a sudden creative flair for poetry arises. The fact that the poetry is indigestable by anyone who is not in a deep depression is very much beside the point. Words like "empty" , "dark" and "lonely" make frequent appearances. All that we can surmise from this is that they are describing their own cranial cavity.




Secondly, they inexplicably turn colourblind and develop a fashion sense that can only be sufficiently described as "anything your mother would object against". This is often the goal.
We can only hope that the next bout of evolution in the homo sapiens gets rid of the puberty life stage in its totality.


Much love
Me :D

Monologues for Pennies

Kudos to Beggars in S.A...they are getting smarter by the minute. Do they go to Beg-Today (sort of like Fat Fighters but for bergies) and then learn new techniques to swindle the hard earned cash from us? We all know the ploys...Ive heard everything mentioned here (and in some cases theyre true) :

a) The family who needs to be fed (a reasonable request , then)
b) The train ticket back to Kayamandi (well then how did you get here?)
c) The house that burnt down
d) The sick relative
e) Him/Her trying to find a job but not having anything to eat in the meantime (gets brownie points for at least trying)

This morning one guy stopped me , showing me that he had a few 20c pieces and when I replied that I didnt have my purse on me (which I didnt) he started talking about how he was "a political man" which i dont have the foggiest as to what he means. And he continued to talk about him distancing himself from his native Xhosa community but now he's starving to death.

THe sheer inventiveness of this made me fish around in my pockets, only to find a R5. I gave that to him, along with a thumbs-up sign and continued to my flat, after he thanked me profusely. It seems that they have found that the longer they can detain you, the more likely youre going to give them cash to just stop talking. Most times its their life story. Sometimes a story that wouldnt be credible even if it appeared in Aesop's fables. Ah well. Survival of the creative?

Aloh! How goes? I was just reading up on some gossip, waiting for my chicken to grill (how domestic of me, I know)...d'you think there's a possibility that Wentworth Miller (gorgeous Prison Break star) is gay? He's too good-looking to be straight surely? (I hear some boo's and hisses coming from the male blogging population...yes dears, we think youre cute too...) Having said that...he doesnt appeal that much to me personally. meh.

Some good news! I went to peek at my psych predicate today, thinking that I had passed it with a 50% at least....turns out I got a sleek 82% instead. This gives me a little boost to the ultimate goal of getting into honours for psych. But nothing's definate.

Do any of you know what pegging is? I got the most random mail on faceparty from a guy asking me if I was interested in dominating him and he asked for...pegging. wtf! weird! There are so many fetishes and weird things going on that we dont know about.
