I just watched the latest episode of their internet show. Fantastic. Seriously, people. Check it out. They're a great band if you're after something a little quirky (aren't we all?) and feel like smiling. Don't not listen to Tally Hall! Stop it! Stop! Quit it! Is it that hard to stop not listening to Tally Hall?
I'm in the computer labs of another university. I feel like a spy. Mostly it's the rubber diving suit and the night-vision goggles I'm wearing, but it could also be the fact that I'm on their system, doing my own thing. That's right. You got it. Down and dirty blogging on computers that belong to a university that I don't even go to.
I got less than three hours sleep last night. I also got less than the recommended eight hours sleep, but it doesn't sound as impressive when I put it like that. Assignmenting isn't much fun right now. It's eating up my sleep time and I'm desperately trying to study, but they keep throwing assessment at me.
Last night I shared something special with a friend. Something that made us better people for the experience. We bought a kilo of bacon, a block of cheese, a loaf of bread and went nuts making cheese and bacon sandwiches. We went for a walk to the supermarket after my head started hurting and I was trying to cope with the fact that I still had many hours of work ahead of me. I thought to myself, let's get some donuts. But he had a better idea. Bacon. The only idea.
So I'm full of pig and feeling good.
Get some bacon in you. I did.

Sichuan flames
Not in my mouth, though. That was nicely warmed, but not quite on fire. It's my digestive system that's aflame. Kong pow prawns, Thin beef strips in a hotpot, sichuan tofu, all delicious, all compounding the agony this morning.
It really was a nice meal out. Two people I love dearly sharing a meal with me. The waitress was adorable. She kept asking questions about what things are called in English and if the two white boys present could handle the spicy food, that she herself had trouble with. Of course the two of us could handle it without any problem (until eight or so hours later). The waitress asked her in Chinese which of the boys she was dating, the red one or the yellow one (by the colour of the tops we were wearing). She said she'd thought she worked it out by the fact that I'd reached my hands out to hold hers across the table. I'd say that's a pretty clear sign.
Girlfriend. Sounds nice, doesn't it? I like it. That's what she is.
The girl who was causing me trouble over the last few weeks (not the good kind of trouble either) has let up. She's decided that I care about her and that she's obviously done enough to hurt me of late, so she wants to be friendly again. I don't understand. Oh, well. It's nice not to be screamed at for a while. I care so much about her, so it's nice to see the same in return.
I just took a break there to scream for a while on the toilet. Yep. Just thought I'd entertain you all with that image.
My best mate from high school, who was at the restaurant (who is absolutely amazing) has been fantastic about everything. He's been understanding when I've been... errr... overenthusiastic with my affection for my girl. He's been there through the abuse I've received from certain others. He just keeps showing his love for me and it really is amazing. I love him so much. I pray that we'll stay close (geographically that is because we'll always stay close emotionally).
I really want to move into a place with him next year, but my parents reckon it'll cost a lot and would rather pay a little extra to keep me in a college for the convenience.
*sigh*
Catch you on the flip side. I got too much work to do.

Naughty naughty
Well, mostly not, but it is hard to get through the day without being a little naughty... Am I right? Last night, after Bible study, I returned home to one of my apartment mates so we could get freaky!
That's right! You heard me! We went at it for two hours! It was loud, it was intense and by the end of it we'd used up all our energy and collapsed in a heap. But it was so satisfying. We unlocked at least four challenge trophies! And now we are awesome at "Cruel Brawl" mode. We reckon Meta Knight is the go. His spin attack from side to side is pretty good. We aren't too bad when it comes to "Home Run Contest" either.
Ah, Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, how you bring people together. It's been fantastic having another person who loves Jesus living in the apartment and he's really been there for me when I've had a tough time of things.
Truly I tell you. Mario Kart Wii and SSBB have really helped bring people closer together. There's nothing like coming home to a voice saying, "Take off your shoes, pull up a controller and we'll de-stress for a while."
Another interesting phenomenon: How a family friendly game can bring about so much bad language. We make up the craziest insults. Usually they consist of a mash of really rude words in no particular order, the likes of which I won't post here. We make up alternate, unkind names for all the characters, just so we can call them by that name when they beat us. It really brings us together.
It was really good to be back at Bible study last night after missing a few weeks. We read Acts 17, which was fantastic. It was great how Paul, even in his distress, managed to find a foothold with which he could bring the good news of Jesus to the Greeks with whom he was talking; how he eloquently spoke in a way that made it familiar, without compromising the truth. In our mission to those around us it's often so hard to start off. But when we look at his time, we really see an environment very similar to our own. We see a place where everyone likes nothing better than to spend "their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas."
It really sounds like a University environment, which is especially relevant for me.
It really is good news, everyone. Have a fantastic week.

A mother of a choice...
Two assignments to do tonight...
But Mother 3 is here!
But the assignments are worth at least 25%...
Mother 3 will transport you to a place where the size of your heart determines your strength!
But doing well this year is a little more important than previous years...
But! But! ...Lucas! ...Flint! ...Salsa! All your friends!
The choice isn't as easy as you'd think. I mean, there's still a part of me that's considering doing the assignments.
Get some sleep and send it my way. I hope I'll see you soon,
