So, yeah, been majorly ill the past couple of days. Sick as... well, a dog. As I write that, I'm wondering where that expression came from. When people use the expression 'sick as a dog', it means you were extremely ill. Do dogs have a penchant for terrible sicknesses or something? No idea. In search for answers, I'm turning to the almighty master of information: Da Google. Apparently, the expression was first recorded in the early eighteenth century, in what was probably nothing more than a
Bought a ukulele the other day. Took it on the ferry and had a blast (because what else is there to do on the ferry?). It's so fun because you can whip it out anywhere and start giving it. Stoked on life. Ukuleles are awesome. My chemical makeup just gained half a kilogram of music, and I already had a rather large amount there to begin with.
Water: 35 Liters Carbon: 20 Kg Ammonia: 4 Liters Lime: 1.5 Kg Phosphorus: 800 g Salt: 250 g Saltpeter: 100 g Sulfur: 80 g Fluorine: 7.5 g Iron: 5g Silicon: 3 g And 15 other elements in small quantities... Now, if you're a BZPower member, you need to add 2 Kg of sarcasm, 1.5 Kg of ponies, and 900 g of various BIONICLE pieces.
This is it, ladies and gentlemen! The final two names have been decided on, and let me tell you: it was an extremely close margin! Here are the four names that have been eliminated, along with their scores: Delicious Chocolate Milk - 13 Mushroom Exterminator - 3 Simon - 9 Tuna Flakes 20 - 3 The final two names had scores of 14 and 15, so it's obvious that it was a close race, with Delicious Chocolate Milk being nudged out by just one vote! I personally love the name, but the you, the voters,

Welcome back, ladies and gents, to the polls for Eyru's next name! I received a lot of submissions this time around (21, to be exact). so I've come up with a twist to the voting system.

Today was my last day of high school. It's hard to describe my state of mind right now. I can't quite seem to get my head around the fact that I won't be going back to school in September. I won't be hanging out with all my friends; I won't be going to classes and seeing my favourite teachers. It's all over. Don't get me wrong- I'm so excited to have graduated. It's incredibly exciting. But at the same time, I'm swamped with memories of high school, and I'm feeling nostalgic. I'm so happy it
I've plum forgotten when my Premier Membership is going to run out, so if I suddenly stop posting in my blog, now you know why. Of course, it could happen in a day, a month, or six months- I'm not exactly sure when I purchased it. So no need to fret, dear citizens! Just be on the ready. Now, I've had a good day. Who else has had a good day?
Nintendo's E3 presentation was everything I feared it would be, and nothing I'd hoped it would be. Let me explain. Nintendo (predictably) spilled some more info on the upcoming Wii U by showing the final versions of the controller, introducing the Miiverse (the Wii U's answer to Xbox Live), and elaborating on the "asymmetrical gameplay" that's apparently going to be all the rage. They unveiled a list of games that would be available for the console, which included the Wii Sports-esque Ninten
I GRADUATED!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The time has come to put on a suit, walk across a stage, and give a speech. I'm graduating from high school today, and it's both awesome and surreal. I'm rather nervous for the speech part (I'm one of the two valedictorians), but I know it's going to rock! Anyway, wish me luck, and maybe I'll get around to posting some snazzy pics of me in the next few days! Oh, and look, I found an emoticon appropriate to my emotions: I'll be a graduate the next time we chat! Later gators!
The obsession is reawakening.... EYRU'S AWAKENING One day Eyru woke up on an island with a mountain There was an egg on the mountain. Eyru prompty died of happiness, and the game over screen was beautiful too. AN EYRU TO THE EYRU One day Eyru woke up in the middle of the night. Eyru had just had a dream about a beautiful girl, which usually would seem weird, but his uncle said was a natural part of growing up. So Eyru turned over and went back to sleep, and Ganon ruled the world. EYRU'
I now have some extra buttons above my blog. One allows me to change themes. Unfortunately, there are no other themes to choose from. <.< >.> Weeeeird. Grad countdown: 8 days.
So I'm applying for a summer job at a somewhat-local newspaper. They have an opening for a full-time summer intern who's web-savvy, ambitious, has a strong work ethic, and has a passion for journalism. Oh, and they require a firm grasp of English grammar and spelling. Crazy, right? Anyway, I've applied, and I figure my chances are pretty good, seeing as not only have I been involved with my school newspaper over the past few years, but I'm also the editor of this year's yearbook (did you guy
