Amnesia Update and Something Else

'Ello thar, followers, readers, stalkers! How YOU doin'?

Things have been going rather okay-ish for me. I haven't really done any significant progress on Amnesia. This is probably due to the fact that I pause the game every couple of minutes and freak out because I am weird like that. I feel as if I'm a sitting duck just waiting for those monsters to come and get me. Also, I feel as if I'm just moving around in circles. I can almost hear those monsters talking about me.

Monster 1: *snicker* *snicker* Hasn't she passed this way before?
Monster 2: Yeah, like three times already. *snicker*
Monster 1: She looks so lost. Let's put her out of her misery.
Monster 2: Ooooh. Let's.
*Monsters jump from out of freakin' nowhere!*
Me: UWAAAAHHH! WTFWTFWTFWTF!

This is pretty much how I go about the game (P.S. there's a ton of swearing in this video. It's pretty hilarious nonetheless):


It's my turn to give the family dog a bath today, and I love how he doesn't move at all as I spray him with water. He just stands there, taking it, like a boss. Also, he has this weird look on his face. The water isn't cold and it isn't hot either. Sometimes, I wonder if there is something wrong with that dog. Either that or he's just really well-behaved. Yay!

Hoo-ha,

Lezz Play Vidya Games!

Bah. These past few days have been rather boring for me. *sad face* A rather obvious contrast from my previous island-hopping, adventure-filled April.

My entire routine consists of sleeping, waking up, eating, playing Sims 2/watching TV till early evening, and then eating once more. At this point, I shall go to sleep again and the process repeats itself in the morning. I've become so bored that I've made life extremely miserable for my Simmies. For example:

I've killed them off every which way possible. Death by flies, death by drowning, death by starvation, death by fire, etc. Only to resurrect them again and torture them some more.

Death by hail. Second only to my favorite: death by satellite.

I've stuffed their little faces with so much food (mostly burgers) that they look like Jabba the Hutt.

Sorry ladies, but this here hottie's married.

Also, I let them get busy *wink wink* in the bedroom more than usual...

...waaaay more than usual.

Okay, so I'm not really that bad (mostly). I've just been really really bored. However, I've recently acquired a game called Amnesia: The Dark Descent. You can view its wiki page here. I'm thinking this'll tide me over for a while. They say Amnesia is one of the scariest computer games to date, and I've decided to try it out.

You play a guy named Daniel, and everything is set in the year 1839. And well, you can just view the wiki page. I'm at the point where you have to collect a couple of chemicals to dissolve the red gunk that's blocking some of the doors (and which also hates me for some reason). I've already encountered two monsters to date, and I'm already pretty psyched. I scream like a little sissy when I see one of the monsters in game which look like these:

Gyaaaa! I think my freaking out is pretty understandable. 

Oh, and did I mention you don't have anything to fight these..these...things with? The best you can do is throw a rock or something at it, and all that does is immobilize it for a while, as you run away screaming your head off. My brother has already asked me a dozen times to quiet down and he's in the other room with the TV on at a pretty high volume. Well, let's just see how this goes. I'm getting pretty scared already. Tee-hee.

Ta Ta,

Time To Plant Some Mean, Green Fighting Machines

Hello everyone. I've noticed a lot of other bloggers have started this thing, and I think it's a really neat idea. Therefore I shall follow in Fiona's, Jodie-Ann's, Kuroneko's and iZaynab's footsteps. 

Did you know that for every visit my blog (or any other website for that matter) gets, about 0.02g of carbon dioxide is caused? Well, I didn't either. Also, I don't think that's a lot. However, it does pile up after a while. This website claims to plant a tree for your blog thereby neutralising your blog's carbon footprint for the next 50 years! That's pretty substantial in my opinion. To join, you have to make a blog post about this and include this button: 

 

Then you e-mail the link to CO2-neutral@kaufda.de. Then, boom! They plant a tree for you somewhere. So there. I was once part of a couple of tree-planting missions back when I was younger, but I never really paid it any mind. Now that I'm older (and hopefully wiser?) I now realize the significance of all this. I hope you (beloved reader) do, too. 

Oh, and also, I made a favicon for my blog. You can view it up top where the tab for my blog is located. It's a picture of a purple winking face. Yes, not very imaginative, I know. Ah, well. It'll have to do. At least until I find something better to replace it with. Hoho. I used Jodie-Ann's tutorial to make my favicon. You should go ahead and make one, too. That is, if you'd want. 

Toodles,

only in the romance movies

Ah, romantic movies. Perfect for those nights when all a girl wants to do is snuggle up on the couch with a huge tub of ice cream and a box of tissues. However, here is a list of stuff that only seem to happen in these romantic flicks:

1) The "ugly" nerdy girl transforms into a stunning beauty with a couple of ridiculous modifications.
We all know about this cliche, so don't pretend you don't. They cast a pretty girl to play the lead role and to make her seem completely undesirable to everyone, they stick glasses on her (what's wrong with glasses? I wear glasses. They're sexy. Or maybe this is just my insecurity over my poor eyesight talking). Anyway, they also have her tie her hair up in a ponytail. Bonus if she has braces, too.

Ew. How ugly.

Finally, at some point in the movie she'll decide to undergo a transformation that merely involves removing her glasses (and never using them again), wearing her hair down and slipping into a sexy little dress. Of course, the slow-walk-down-the-stairs scene or dramatic-entrance-into-a-room scene is obligatory afterwards. 

"I'm gorgeous now. Who cares if I can't make out any of your facial features due to my horrible eyesight, I'm not wearing those glasses again."

2) Completely opposite people are meant for each other.

Almost half (I think.) of romance movies have this very plot. Either a hot cheerleader/successful young woman falls for the loser guy who clearly fails at life or the captain of the football team/successful young man falls for the nerdy, socially-awkward girl. Of course, it can happen in real life, although quite rarely.

"I don't care if you don't have an immune system. We'll make this work. In the meantime, listen to this awesome guitar cover by yours truly"

3) Dramatic kisses always happen in the rain.

This doesn't really need much explanation. There's just something about kissing while freezing drops of rain pummel your body. Oh, and you get a cold afterwards, too. Think about all those sick days and all that phlegm and cough syrup. How romantic.

Blegh. Spiderman and MJ get plus points though. Because Spidey's upside down. Also because he's Spiderman and I like him.

4) There's always the lovemaking scene. Oh, and the L-shaped cover.

I don't recall a romantic film I ever saw that didn't involve a little romp in the hay. Usually this is not awkward and is always awesome, wild, and passion-filled. Also, it always occurs no later than the third date. And afterwards, everyone assumes this weird position wherein the covers is up to the woman's chin but exposes the man's chest completely. 

"Apparently, people in the film industry think everyone loves seeing a man's hairy chest. After all, women's breasts are freakin' ugly."

5) The only way to make things right is to run after him/her.

Usually, after the main conflict in the film, one of the lead characters will have to leave on an airplane or get married to someone else or drive out of town or whatever that basically means ending the love affair with the other lead character. At this point, the other lead character who is left behind, suddenly has the sudden realization that he or she cannot live with the other, and rushes as fast as possible to the airport or where the wedding is being held or the edge of town to try and catch the newly-realized love of his or her life before it's too late.

"Honey. I ran through airport security, hijacked this stair thingy and am currently about to be shot in the head because everyone now thinks I'm a terrorist. Also, I love you."

I honestly do not see the point in all of this. Why all the effort? Hasn't anyone in these movies heard of a cellphone? Just call 'em, profess your undying love to 'em. Boom! Happily Every After. Which brings me to:

6) Love conquers all

No matter what happened in these movies, everything will turn out okay in the end. All you need to make all your problems go away is a kiss with the one you love and it will seem like nothing else ever mattered. I mean, everyone will hijack a stair thingy and maneuver it alongside the plane with their loved one who is about to leave forever on board at least once in their life, right?

That's love for ya.

Oh and here's a picture of heart-shaped french fries because I love french fries.

Au revoir,

Post-Flying Post

So lately I've noticed from my stats (I check 'em everyday!) that people have been searching for really weird things and they end up on my blog. Also, these search terms don't appear just once, but multiple times! Whaaaat.

Here are a few examples:

1. the only thing i'm scared of is getting sucked in to the airplane
I honestly do not know why anyone would search for this. Although, after careful deliberation, I shall assume that they meant to search for this to try and find a support group online for people with a similar fear. I tried googling this to see what would happen and all I got were people on Yahoo! Answers asking how probable it is that their plane might crash, also a Mean Girls Move Transcript for some reason. Google images was of no help either since what came up were images of Lex Luthor, dried fish, Orlando Bloom, a star tattoo and what seems to be vegetable soup (?), among a lot of other random stuff. In all fairness, there is something related to airplanes: a goose-shaped airplane. However, the person/s who searched for this may have really just wanted to open up to their search engine about their deepest fears.

2. blue eyes falling out of an airplane lavatory, meaning
Now this would be really weird if this person was talking about this literally, since if blue eyes started popping out of the airplane lavatory, I would not stand there and make a mental note about going on the internet and searching for the meaning behind it later, so I'm assuming he/she dreamt about "blue eyes falling out of an airplane lavatory" and wants to know what it's all about. Frankly, I think it means you should lay off the ice cream and pickles before bed, darling.

3. something bit me under the water and swelled
So something bit you underwater and it suddenly swelled up like a balloon? Err. It was probably a pufferfish. I've always wanted to have a taste. They're extremely poisonous and it's always a gamble if you decide to sample it, prepared only by a certified Japanese chef, of course.

4. people sitting on the toilet
Ah, someone searched for this 6 times over the course of a couple of days. He/she really seemed to be very determined to search for people sitting on the toilet. So, due to "popular demand', here's a person sitting on the toilet drawn just for you:

Thank me later, Anon-who-searches-for-people-sitting-on-the-toilet.

In other news, I flew out yesterday and am now back in Jeddah after another 16 hour flight all in all. I have about a month left of my summer vacation and I'm going to make the most of it. For now, I need some well-deserved shuteye.

Cheers,
