Hello from Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia!

I have followed my dad on business trip here to relax, rewind and reflect on the beachside in this beautiful town! I'm loving it!

Hilarious thing happened to me when I was walking around town discovering cute shops. Some indigenous kids in their very late teens were lounging around on a couple of cheap picnic seats gawking at me as if they've never seen an asian in their life.

Was I wrong! One of them completely blew me away with his display of knowledge of the Japanese language. Note the sarcasm.

** This is written for my very good friend buzzhorn, in recognition of our bet on Saturday 11.10.08's Euro qualifying match, in which my beloved Germany does battle with Russia in a soccer showdown.

The following article sets a precedent for all bets laid on sporting, cultural, political and economic events around the world because I just like learning national anthems!

However, the national anthem may be substituted with an appropriate replacement of equal humiliation which can be negotiated, with proof of deed fulfillment. Hello YouTube :D

Rene,
You have absolutely moved me to tears with the wonderful poem you wrote for me, and I'm not afraid to show you off to the whole world. I've been so blessed to be able to know you so intimately - though we have our struggles in understanding each other because my Deutsch is so bad and you can't find the right word to use in English, none of this matters.

Du…

Tara.
Work experience has really changed my outlook on life. Not sure if I told you but I went to the Sheraton on the Park's kitchen (it's a 5-star hotel in the city opposite Hyde Park). Not that I want to be a chef, but it was worth doing to know what it's like to slog my ass off all day for a non-existent wage because I'll be likely to be landed with a job that allows me to literally numb my behind to a gangrenous state due to a horrid, sedentary lifestyle.

And you know what?

The early morning…

Last night, upon surfing lastfm journals, I came across a really interesting one discussing homosexuality and I'm pleased to say that I feel really driven to give my ten cents worth about this particularly contentious issue that tends to divide our society.

Now if you haven't picked up on my bias already, I'll say it now. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do I tolerate discrimination in any form, especially homophobia.

Homophobia is the product of ignorance, misinformation and fear - three fundamental things that are commonly the root of all discrimination. I can't exactly relate because I'm not a lesbian, and in…

I don't want to do my English creative writing story at the moment. This is all I have written:

The world moved beneath his outstretched fingers in a psychedelic swirl of earthy hues as he exhaled briefly, channeling all his concentration with his eyes shut. The sphere spun and whirred while the tip of his index made contact – he traveled over the Swiss Alps, past the scouring sands of the Middle East, skipped Everest in a heartbeat; the Great Wall, Shanghai… and the orb ceased motion, quivering in a frenzied silence.

I asked my brother to read it, and…

Just taking this opportunity to especially shout it out to all the Europeans who frequent this site who may be coming this year to World Youth Day in Sydney !

Call me annoying, but I'm hoping that by submitting this entry to all the groups I am a part of, it reaches as many people as it can without having to individually spam every single user on last fm :P

In that case, if you're coming to WYD08 in Sydney, where I happen to live, I'd love to talk to you about it !

Feel free to shoutbox me so…

1. How did you get into 31(DJ Marcky)?
Back when I thought jumpstyle was cool. I think jumpstyle is lame now (thank god), but his music lives on!

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22{Jimmy Eat World)?
The Middle

3. What's your favourite lyric by 29(Coldplay)?
Well that's easy!
Look at the stars, look how they shine for you - and everything you do. Yeah they were all yellow :)

4. What is your favourite album by 49(Lostprophets)?
- Liberation Transmission.

5. How many albums by 13 (…

You know what? I don't want to do my Shakespeare Essay, so let's talk music.
I'm confident in the fact that people aren't going to read this, which is why I might as well vent regarding my many music-related anxieties.
There are some really scary people on this site. It's as if the music they listen to takes them over and eats them alive.
Not to generalise, but a lot of the metal lovers on this site look as if they aspire to be Satan himself, but I can sympathise with that. I mean, think about it long and hard.…
