Goodbye to the very odd year :)

Talking to drunks at midnight only to tell them where you live and giving them directions....


...Waking up to realise the exact same thing you have known for the past half a year....


Having a literal conversation about a euphemism for no adequate reason only to prove it wrong.


Putting things in the microwave because it's convenient storage.


Making things worse just to prove you can make them worse.


Becoming nocturnal for the sake of talking to someone in another country you'll never meet.


Skipping during phys ed laughing all the way.


Getting strange looks in public and not caring.


Combining two things in the pantry to see if it will taste good (but it rarely ever does)

Learning how stupid it feels talking to yourself on camera in your room.

Refusing to go into a shop because you don't want to stand around in there not doing anything having people staring at you so you end up standing around at the entrance not doing anything and having even more people staring at you.

Being asked what "character" you're dressed as when you go to school in normal attire.

Laughing at books about old computers from the early 90's when ironically your friend's do the same to your computer from the early 00's.

Getting into sleeping habits that bypass the morning.

Being so used to staying up past midnight you look down at the clock and go "Oh... it was Christmas half an hour ago.... cool."

Knowing that if you're bored you can always call up any of your wonderful friends and watch the phone bill go up :)

Knowing that this year was full of so much wonderful things that it's hard to beat. But you bet next year is going to be even better! :) Woo! 2009 people!

The Meaning of "Cornflake"

No, this is not a blog designed to endorse breakfast cereals... like all my blogs (all... two.... of them) there is a certain meaning behind the name of the title (url). I wanted to call this blog "TheWindow" but that was taken. It would've been like TheWindowOfBilby only for everyone... The Window to the world and all it's insanity... cool :) But no, failing that I tried to think of something that would mean something, something that seperates this random blog from every other random blog...

... cornflakes...

Well the second author of this blog (woo! Yeah! Authors!) has adopted to be called "Cornflake" and last I checked this was her thingy on her phone.... well it means something ok? Well we were giving these orals (hehehe immature giggle) NO not that! Oral presentations... as in we stand up and talk... about poetry really (It's an english lit thing... you wouldn't understand) and my friend stands up and gives a talk about her interpretation of one of the most simplest seeming and odd poems in all of Bruce Dawes Sometimes Gladness... "The Cornflake". What appeared to be a poem about... food... seemed to hold a deeper meaning for this girl and she explained it in a way that made absolute perfect sense (which considering she flailed her hands a lot when saying it made it all that more interesting and special) and the poem basically talks about Cornflakes being eaten with no thought, they just come and go but some stick and become stains and aren't washed off and survive generations... and well it's poetry so it can be interpreted different ways and isn't always as shallow as it seems she told us all that she thought it could be used to talk about humans. Many people are just made and they come and go, we're seemingly the same and pass by with no thought and nothing distinguishes us... but some of us... some of us very special little cornflakes break free of this cycle! We fling ourselves out of the bowl and we become famous or special or different or amasing or wonderful and we're out there to be remembered for many generations! Never to be washed off the floor or wall to which we cling! We are the cornflakes and we will not be moved! For a hundred years we will stand as an icon, a monument before the world and our name will be remembered...

So, being the awesome friend I am who cares, listens and likes in-jokes I decided that I shall make this blogs title based on that concept... that idea that we don't always have to be the same and some of us can stand out. Some of us can achieve more and so...

...We are cornflakes :)

... And these are the ramblings of these cornflakes...

Enjoy :)

Fellow Cornflakes

OK this blog has been created well... for fun really. (I dare someone to come up with a perfectly legitimate and plausible reason why any of us do anything that isn't somehow related to our own enjoyment...) But how is this fun? Well you see this gets a bunch of people together to basically make the world just that little itty bitty tinsy tiny eeny weeny beeny seeny geeny teeny yeeny bit more interesting.... or just a bit more random :) OK the idea is get a few or more authors to this blog and just let them blog... a lot... about nothing, or something, or whatever. Trust me, blogging is fun! It really is you get a lot of things out and you come up with some really random things. So if you're currently reading this because I've sent you to this page and asked you to become a co-author to this blog I basically think you are quite dandy and awesome to say the least :) I also think you may be a bit odd... or very odd... doesn't matter! I like you anyway, and I hope you like me back.... the... way you like friends that is.... I'm pretty sure I'll try to invite some guys into this whole group blogging thing so I'd rather they not start making googly eyes at me... that's creepy...

Anyhoo, if you are an author of this blog please read the following rules (also, signing up to be an Author means I OWN YOUR SOUL!)

1. Don't blog about really personal matters.... OK strangely enough the world doesn't need to know that you're feeling really sad because sometimes you just feel so alone... (That's for the stalkers on myspace to find out) Feel free to tell us that someone in your life has died... we bloggers aren't completely heartless (only mindless zombies sent to read BLOGS) personal problems are for diaries not blogs.... unless they're really funny personal problems... I care though... (Of course, blogging about how you fed the dog today is really really strange and so therefore most likely encouraged :P Yes the world wants to hear about how fat your siblings or pets are becoming!)

2. Don't give away personal information... (like... no duh...) basically the world might care where you live.... but you really shouldn't let them know because some of the world is a creepy world. It clings to the underside of rocks and hisses in the dark trying to find out where you lives....

Also, you don't need to but it'd be really awesome if we all had an alias... I have an alias, Cornflake has an alias (of... "Cornflake"...) so feel free to hide who you are from the world! Woo! Hiding in an ironic fashion! :P

3. Don't post blogs consisted of single

Now, go out and blog, who cares what it's about? Just blog about how you don't know what to blog about... it will just spawn from there and it will be fun! And random and basically lets try to make the world laugh at our total awesome randomness... because we all know we're totally awesome... we're cornflakes :)
