Age: 17
Music: I like pretty much everything... except rap. I can't stand rap
Language: I speak English. I've taken some courses for Japanese, but it's been a while, so I don't really remember it very well anymore. I'm going to be taking Japanese again when I go to university.
Hmmm... I don't really know what else I should put about myself. I'll add some more later :D
I just wanted to briefly explain how my shelf works, since I am an avid reader of both novels and manga, i thought that I should try to seperate them so my shelves are not as cluttered.
Right now as I'm typing there are eight books on my reading now shelf. I'm not actually reading eight novels. They're just the novels that I've received from the library and are patiently waiting for me to read. It would be crazy of me to try to read even more than one book at the same time, I can very easily confuse characters between books.
The I'm planning to read, I'm reading, and I've read are mostly dedicated to novels. Manga that I want to read, but won't be buying go on the I'm planning to read section. If i'm planning to buy a certain manga, it will be going onto my wish list, and once I've read it it will be going on to my "Own" shelf. Even though I buy novels (not so much anymore, thank you library!) I mainly purchase manga, so any manga that I own will only go on my "Own" shelf. However, if I really enjoyed the manga, it would also be on my favourites shelf.
The Stupidest Things On Products
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (Too late!)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (As night follows day . . .)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (But wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (One would hope.)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (As opposed to what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (I gotta admit, I'm curious.)
On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (Talk about a news flash.)
On artificial bacon: "Real artificial bacon bits". (So we don't get fake fake bacon. Oh no we get real fake bacon.)
On a Myer hairdryer:"Do not use while sleeping."(Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
On an American Airlines packet of nuts:"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."(Wow. That's really helpful)
On a child's superman costume:"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly". (Awh, that's the whole purpose of buying the costume!)
On a Swedish chainsaw:"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals".(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
On a package of pasta after the cooking instructions:"Put on fork and eat."(No! Really? We're supposed to eat food?!)
Some say the glass is half full, others the glass is half empty, all I want to know is who's drinking my water!
Parents spend the first part of a child's life teaching them to walk and talk. The second half is teaching them to sit down and shut up
Here are some posts from My Life Is Average:
Today, I realized the word bed actually looks like a bed. MLIA
When I was little I would write my initials on my one dollar bills before I spent them. Today, I bought a cup of coffee and my change included a dollar bill with my initials in the corner. I've waited 10 years for this to happen. It's bound to be a good day. MLIA
Today, I read a story on FML about a girl who accidentally sent an email to her band teacher saying he was handsome. Getting that email made my day. MLIA
Today, I read that when NASA first started sending astronauts in space they discovered that ball point pens didn't work in zero gravity. They spent a decade and 12 billion dollars to develop a pen that would write in zero gravity, upside down, under water, on any surface and tempatures that reached 300 degrees below zero. The Russians used a pencil. MLIA
Today, my friend explained to me that if you write 3.14 on a piece of paper and hold it in a mirror, it will say pie. Mind. Blown. MLIA
Yesterday, I took my baby cousin trick or treating. She was dressed as a pumpkin and was absolutely adorable, so many kids wanted to hold her. She was held my a zombie, a dead person, a texas chainsaw murderer, and a scary clown. She didn't cry until she got held by a twelve year-old dressed as Miley Cyrus. She was right to be afraid. MLIA
Two days ago, on Halloween, I opened the door to some trick-or-treaters. They were dressed as Dumbledore, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Snape. They started making a ticking noise and proceeded to sing from the Mysterious Ticking noise.
