Rgs's Chulalongkon Champions of 413 Overthrow Thaksin's Government
Yesterday, I was reading this English handout on suttee and Hindooism (which dawn the prawn claims is a cross between Hinduism and Voodooism), and the document must have been at least 800 words long and had more than 6 paragraphs but was only made up of 10 sentences because all their sentences were long and convoluted like this, just that they were worse because it contained tons of hard-to-understand words because it was written by orthodox Hindoos to the Governor or some important person like that to protest against regulations made to stop the practise of suttee, which is, by the way, a practice in which a wife burns herself together with her husbands' dead body; the passage used tons of commas and semi-colons (isn't that like colon as in colon cancer) but I'm using mostly commas despite being taught punctuation as early as I could read because I still don't know how the hell to use those funny-looking semi-colon things. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;
OUR TEACHERS ARE BRILLIANT! It was so awesome the way they turned our April Fool's prank on us. The 31st Annual Phongprapatana (aha i spelt it right!) Muay Thai Championship Finals were the best. And even though the entire staff room and all the principals now think that our class consists of complete idiots, it's nice to know that they have a sense of humour. Chulalongkon (how do you spell that?!) Champions unite! Together we can single-handedly overthrow a government.
Today I got a new pencilcase! It looked ugly in the shop but I just liked the shape. I've been craving for a small flat boxy metal pencilcase since forever because it will force me to carry minimal stationery. Apart from being zen, I can also stick post-it notes on the inside of the cover so that I don't forget things and can cheat in tests. It's still kind of ugly, but if you cover the right half and look at it from really far away it starts to look nice. I think I like it. What I really like though are my Nyanko, Wanroom and "Cats know various things" plastic files. I think the Japanese are bloody geniuses for inventing stupid things like that because they make me so happy. When I get my first credit card, one of the first things I will do is order all the Wanroom plushies and Nyanko merchandise online. Then when I get my own house I shall have a separate room where I get to display all my cute Japanese things, and when I'm sad I can sit in there and meditate.
Newsflash!
My Dad just passed me new Pearly White toothpaste. It has a "Unique Whitening Formula" that promises to "remove stains and return your teeth to its natural whiteness". Thank you, I am fully aware that my teeth look like I gargle tea twice a day when brushing my teeth. However this stupid formula will not work on me because my teeth have no "natural whiteness" to speak of whatsoever. I could sand the top layer of my teeth off and they will still look like kernels of corn.
