Please take a seat.

I hate waiting. And right now, I seem to be waiting for a lot more things than I usually do. At the forefront of it, I am waiting for school to be mean and crash into me again with no regard for my feelings. I’m not ungrateful, but they will never give me enough break.

I am drinking some green tea gingerale that Canada Dry has recently put in stores. (Thanks, dearest. =D) It’s interesting, in a good way. I think it’s the best on the first taste. I still like the green and red tea drinks they have in China. They’re surprisingly good, and the office I was in was stalked full of a myriad of them – all for the taking.

Camus, curse you for writing boring books that I must read.

One day I will post an entry that doesn’t have a sporadic flow.

aaaand Star Wipe!

I love star wipes, they always make me smile. I remember staring at the transitions page on windows movie maker for five minutes musing about what kind of artistically challenged person would use the one with four stars in one wipe –> that’s about 4 times as dumb, exponentially, as the old school star wipe.
See with the others I can almost understand. Keyhole wipe would work if you were actually using a keyhole in your story; and the heart wipe is clearly for uncreative but forgivable couples and their anniversary slideshows.

Incidentally, what sparked these thoughts is my habit of watching trashy television during breaks. My current claim to shame is the most god-awful and thus hilarious show I’ve watched since I glanced over a few episodes of The Surreal Life – A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

I’m not even going to talk about the show because that would take me an entire bloody day. But anyway, they randomly used a pink-lined star wipe to transition out of a scene… WTF? Saying nothing about every single other aspect of the show, their transitions have been very decent and inconspicuous until now.

The award for my favourite usage of the star wipe however, goes to Trevor Boris on the 80’s segment of Video on Trial. He stops to acknowledge and honour the star wipe, and then proceeds to demonstrate how he can use it over and over again. Trevor Boris is teh awesome.

 Overall, today’s been a very good day. I will not elaborate. Cheers!

I’ve always preferred Mr. Monopoly.

Dear Mr. WordPress,     

     You’re awesome. Don’t ever change.

Very sincerely,
Ms. I’mSorryNoLastNameAppearsToExist

P.S. (My dearest didn’t warn me about you when he encouraged me to create a blog, but it has been my pleasure. I have taken the time to delete your very sincere post and comment. Cheers!)

Two hours of index finger excercise and all I got was this stupid header.

Older me will look back on this time and laugh at my excessive and inefficient fussing. However, the current me knows better than to think that I would ever do it any differently. Oh! Formatting! How I delight in you and curse you internally. I love dramatic Oh’s. If there was one thing I’ll remember from Shakespeare camp, it is that no Oh should ever be said lightly. Instead, it should be emphasized with such passion (pick your own emotion) that someone might almost think the Oh! is more important than whatever comes after it. Well, that’s not quite how it was put, but that’s how I like to think of it.
Let us turn to our favourite romantic comedy, Romeo and Juliet, for an example:

          ”O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!”

I must say that it is much more interesting to observe how the actor manages to deliver all the O’s (for certainly, no good actor would do them all precisely the same way!) than to listen to the other wishy-washy blabber that Romeo has to say.

You can’t believe how much I love text boxes that allow formatting cntrl + ___ commands. Watch this next trick:
