I was chatting today and I was suddenly reminded of the fact that I have had recurring dreams the past few nights.
I'm on a basketball court. It was a pretty important looking court, must be the Australian equivalent of NBA or something.
But I suck dick (as in, as much dick as I do atm). I distinctly recall shooting an air ball, and another time losing control while dribbling ahaha.
But for some reason I never get subbed off. They just don't pass to me that often, and if they do, they don't expect too much.
So bizarre.
words
If a girl is called butch for being like a guy
And a guy is called a pussy/pansy for being like a girl
Why is it that both of these insults more derogatory to a woman than it is for a man?!

iOS6 for Australia
Including:
Siri for Australia
Maps for Australia
First of all, Siri finally works in Australia! Where's the nearest Maccas? Brings up a list. How do I get to Town Hall? Boots up the Maps app.
It pretty much achieves in Australia what it achieved in America in iOS5. What was meant to be new to Siri this time? Like... sports scores or something. Apparently ManU smashed Wigan 4-0 last Sunday in the EPL (Y). But it couldn't tell me the results of the last Bulldogs game, so limited Australian shits given. Fortunately I don't want to ask Siri for sports scores.
The Maps app isn't as bad as made out to be (in Sydney, at least). The flyover view is pretty useless but it seemed to work okay for Sydney CBD. My local residential area appears flat (just like google maps) but I'm not about to complain about that.
The directions seem to work as usual. Search function doesn't seem any less powerful.
When you search a restaurant, some of them have a slideshow of pictures that come from ??? but are a really nice touch)
What we are sorely missing is traffic data and OMG STREET VIEW =(.
Overall a pretty big leap for Australian Siri users, and Apple maps are a slightly less polished version of Google Maps but still very much so functional.

quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
A couple of weeks ago, when it was election time, I commented that it sucks that we can only turn to humans to govern other humans.
It would be better if there's a being that can see the world on a macroscopic scale and can hence create the most positive outcome possible.
Upon reflection that sounds a lot like what religion is meant to be except that a) not everyone believes in the same shit b) of the people who appear to believe the same shit, they don't actually believe the same shit c) nobody is getting any instructions, and if anyone is, they have a hard time convincing anyone else.
Also I would like to clarify that I am not a common drunkard :L. I have merely taken an interest in tasting everything and don't intend on getting wasted often ahaha.
For example, drizzling Jack Daniels over yoghurt tastes pretty good =D. But that was like 1/4 of a drink because it's taste > alcohol.
I mentioned before that 50% V and 50% apple juice tastes awesome. Can't imagine vodka tasting bad in that.
Also can't imagine vodka tasting bad when mixed in with a Slurpee.
On that note, vodka doesn't freeze, and gets to like -15 degrees. And it insta-freezes any condensation from your breath ;D. I tried making a vodka gummy but I only had a 2nd grade pack of gummies and it turned out terrible. Must buy Starbursts next time.
OKAY JOKES THAT STUFF WAS A DRAFT FROM A FEW DAYS AGO. I just wanted to post it.
Times to talk about graduation.
The ram is fucking awesome.
We've only got 4 weeks until the HSC, then we have 4 months of bullshit.
There is no place for sentiment here but I especially enjoy the consistently obnoxious groups that I have a penchant for joining: Meatloaf and the legendary English table :L. Times were had and they were good ;D
I wonder if the juniors will actually miss us. I wonder if the teachers are secretly relieved that they are rid of us :L.
I am currently trying to work out who I might never see again :O. It's an odd thought in this world of uber technology. But everyone knows eventually we just can't be fucked. Oh well we got Skype and MSN and SMS, hopefully we can contact who we want when we get bored.
Okay I'm done.

which came first
Something I don't really get
Which came first, chicken or the egg?
Do scientists actually discuss this shit? Because I swear I can solve it with junior high school knowledge.
The answer is the egg (by evolution)
The answer is chicken (by creationism)
Assumptions from evolution
1) Variations naturally occur in a population.
2) Mutations that will pass onto the child occur in the gametes (e.g. Down syndrome), and not those that affect the adult during his/her lifetime (e.g. lung cancer)
3) Eggs (not necessarily from chickens) existed a long time before the first chicken walked the Earth (various reptiles and birds).
It can be concluded from 2) and 4) that an egg was sitting there, and it hatched into what can be recognised as a chicken. 1) warrants the existence of variation (that doesn't deviate too much from the parent, but has appreciable differences).
By pure logic a duck did not go super-saiyan and turn into a chicken.
The only possible route is non-chicken-parent-bird -> egg -> first bird than can reproduce with the modern chicken.
Like this argument is actually dumb.
However by creationism God made everything and on the76th (ty Marcus) day he made man. So that really solves stuff quickly too.
Either way, whether you put your money on science or the Old Testament, there's a quick answer.
This is like the time I got mad about comparing apples and oranges. There is nothing easier to compare.

full circle
Today I managed to buy Baileys. I quite enjoy the taste but I don't think I could have a shot's worth of that stuff, it's so rich and feels like drinking cream.
Also today I had the best time. I took a train trip from Carlingford to Camellia in order to visit the Hooters there to purchase some merchandise. Then I took the M91 to Parra Interchange where I got off and used my Debit Mastercard for the first time since I got it! This is also where I got the Baileys but I didn't use my card for that.
Then took the M54 back home so I could get home in time so that we can all go out and eat dinner after dropping my brother off.
You see, today my brother had an end of season celebration. In the morning he went laser tag with the team, and at night they were eating out.
Now nobody told me he was eating at Hooters.
That was like 3 hours of my day gone.
Also today in the morning before all this, we went out to vote. For like, the local council or some shit like that. The AEC managed to fuck my enrolment up so that I wasn't on paper, nor was I on the PDA things the election officials had, but the internet says with a big tick "enrolment confirmed". So that dicked stuff up yay. I spent about 7 minutes in there longer than I predicted, filling out a new form while the girl helping me was laughing at how retarded my situation is.
Then we like drove out and then we stopped at a red light and like the car behind us rammed into us.
When we got out we were like, wow there's a car rammed into the car that rammed into us.
That's like #raminception or #hashtaghashtaginception
It was also uphill, I'd estimate it was about a 15 degree incline. So that's a lot of momentum in that first car.
Also TIL when there is significant damage to a car in any accident you can call the cops on 000. But we all drove away before the cops came and I'm pretty sure nobody told the cops we were leaving lolol.
I was about to take a photo and put a shitty filter on it and post it on Instagram then realised that it was slightly inappropriate. So I didn't.
Just in case any of you people have a heart and shit, nobody got hurt and the bumpers took most of the force (Y).
Also I shall publish my optimum ratios for the two highballs that I've tried.
Jack and Coke: 5-7 parts Coke, 1 part Jack Daniels
Whisky (Jack Daniels again lol) on the rocks: 30mL whiskey with 2 ice cubes, drink while ice cubes are melted to about half their original size.
Rum and Coke: 3 parts Coke, 1 part rum
I know, my repertoire is fucking huge. Dw dw it will grow steadily
snap crackle pop
I like it when ice cubes are frozen clear
And then I put them in the cup
When I pour room-temperature water over the cubes
The outside expands faster than the inside
And it stresses and finally cracks
Millions of microfractures spidering underneath the surface
With a small pop the ice cube changes from clear to cloudy
Fully sick line breaks make it feel like bad poetry.
Also I found out via Twitter that we are all like voting tomorrow for our local reps and stuff.
Oh well at least it makes absolutely zero difference who the hell our local council is. I have zero ideas who the current mayor(correct title?) is for Parra. Hektik.
