A large list

What a year it has been. Due to the nature of our short term memories, I'm going to declare this one the most eventful one so far. Let's have a look at the list of achievements I've accomplished in the form of a list of firsts:

*Updated* Yes I forgot.

2011 was the first year that I...
  • Went to Uni for the second time
  • Turned 19, and finally got my P's
  • Which i used to drive to the Grampians and went lumberjacking while I was at it
  • Got a job of my own and learnt the various flavours of dishwashing liquids
  • Failed miserably at a job interview
  • Won a 'stack of the day' award at the snow, amongst other things
  • Did not let studying for exams get in the way of my procrastination
  • Built a new gaming computer, with help from friends
  • Finished Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
  • Won at Shogun total war 2
  • Cleared portal 2 with Dehan
  • Completed Dragon Age 2. Mostly.
  • Achieve victory over the Germans in MoW:AS on hard mode.
  • Prevail over the big bad in Skyrim
Achievements that I still need to do but probably won't get time to until I'm shipped off:
  • Win at Deus Ex 3
  • Find a copy of Zelda: Skyward sword and beat it
  • Unlock everything in Battlefield
  • Get to Diamond League legit in Starcraft 2
It's a shame really. Actually speaking of Skyrim, if you guys are looking for the source of NEET's being produced in the world, it would come as a very strong contender. Proof:
"Oh look it's 3am. Time for Skyrim."-Simon
And if you're wondering what the heck this Skyrim thing is, it's also the source of all of those horrible arrow in knee jokes that have been going around the internet, being posted by all the stay-at-home recluses that Skyrim has produced.

On another note, I did not do anything special for Christmas. Some kids are to blame for making me  blow up tanks and stuff with them starting Christmas eve all the way till Boxing day. Mum also did not go because she was lazy and couldn't be bothered fighting the crowd, so we all stayed home. Which is kinda lame because apparently I missed some hilarity happening, so I guess I'll have to take Jacky's word for it:

Jacky Sing:
*Today I got hit on by these two hot chicks.
*i must say
*this new shirt
*and new style
*is a definite success
*haha
*a man is defined by his shirt

You..what?! Sorry man, but I know I did say I wouldn't put up any of your potentially incriminating shit unless I absolutely had to but this was too good to pass up. Anyway this post is getting large so I'll put the rest of it up next time.

Defilbrilation attempt #2

Yes, this blog kinda died. Again. Not for the lack of motivation but rather the distinct lack of things to...update people on. I guess staying inside all the time and sitting in front of the computer doesn't lend much  to creativity. But anyway, I would like to report that this week alone I've been outside for a whopping two (2!) times! That's like twice as much as the two weeks before combined! Readers who are relatively normal will probably be scratching their heads right now but I assure you that it is a great achievement for me. If only I was as hard working all the time on the holiday.

Anyway today I went outside and to some night market thing down in St. Kilda, the first event
of its kind I'd been to in forever. There was food and it was ok but not super, except this isn't really a food blog (not yet). Thankfully the entertainment was better, comprising mainly of Jacky attempting and failing to hit on random ladies while wearing headphones that was being rented out by one of the stalls there, which is a pretty good idea for entertainment. I think they should do that for funs more often because it's superior in many ways to standard performances, such as playing with fire.

This is because unlike public performances, which lose their entertainment value should the performer mess up, screwups from impromptu improvs only increase the hilarity level of whatever performance is going on, and thus would make everyone better off.

Anyway after that I ran into the White kid and Panda Kevin (who's not a panda anymore) and Kylie and friend, and I told Karlgren and being all witty he was like

Yeah. No. Hopefully I'll have gone outside more next time and have less dull things to report.
