Char Siu

If you lathered me in Char Siu sauce and left me in my room for 45 mins, I will turn into a Char Siu D: SERIOUSLY. My room is like a glass house or something =-= The window which faces the WEST takes up 3/4 of the wall on that side of the room.

So yeah. I'm baking.


Today, I had my first 2u English period and I have to say, what we read about was immensly interesting (what we did wasn't though.. just hilighting + reading the sheets).

We read about where goths came from. Not as in people with dyed black hair who wear black clothes and funky coloured eyeshadow, but the Germanic tribe who helped overtake the western Roman Empire. They designed churches and castles and made it look dark, majestic and GOTHic :) you know.. gargoyles and such.

Anyway, during the Romantic period, poets and writers like Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats LOVED to write about their dreams (induced by Opium and other drugs) or their highs and they were usually set in gothic places doing wild adventurous things.. playing with supernatural powers etc. And thus came the birth of stories of ghosts, witches, sorcerers, wizards, etc. I swear, if it weren't for these Romanticists and the Gothic people + their architecture, there would be so much less to be scared of nowadays XD Before The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Frankenstein people wouldn't have been scared of seeing something semi-human. To be honest, I would have thought they'd be pretty funny looking :)

Yeah, but my main point (which I haven't mentioned) is that I have sort of run out of ideas for my original Ext 2 plan. :/ But I find this Gothic stuff interesting compared to the happenings in the Victorian Era. I'd rather read about someone fighting monsters and dragons in some dark cave than read about some girl who is fed up with having to wear a corset everyday and read about her taking steps to liberate herself blah blah blah and finally be able to take off her metaphorical corset D:

D:

I am so screwed D:

I was quite busy today. Going around doing stuff in preparation for Valentines day. All the work is so tedious. The most enjoyable part, stamping the backs of tickets and slips took less than 5 minutes D: :O ALSO I SAW KAT ex Ruse :) She's doing Optom at UNSW (I think) Smarty pants :)


OH LOL I just opened my English journal and I realised the last time I updated was the 24th of November last year XD


XD XD


TIME TO GET A MOVE ON :)

Have fun guys!
