Polyvore is fun. I've been a member there for 2 years but never made a set before yesterday... Fun fun fun!

I'm so glad my last exam this year is over... I did really well actually and got a 10 (the second highest grade)! So I'm really happy and relaxing, playing playstation, surfing the web and reading good books.

Right now I'm reading the Scott Westerfeld trilogy Uglies/Pretties/Specials (I'm at the last book now). It is a series of young adult books about a scary yet fascinating science fiction future in a world where everyone gets plastic surgery when they turn 16 to become "pretty". But there is a twist of course which I will not reveal here - duh.

I'm completely addicted to these books right now. My only complaint is that the author could go into much more detail about this future world with its amazing technology and the people who live there. But for a young adult book I think it works very well. It is well written, action driven, engaging and it constantly keeps you guessing. I love its unpredictability. At one place I thought I had it all figured out until the the plot presented some very unexpected mmm... circumstances.

I haven't finished it yet, but my inner young adult so hopes it will have a happy ending. Whatever that means.

I'm on Twitter. I wanted to know what it was everyone was talking about and now I know. Although I'm not sure I get it.

Again, this past week I've been procrastinating like crazy. I have my exam on Monday, but I still haven't figured out how to present my project. It's late Saturday night/ early Sunday morning, so I'm really running out of time. Help? I'm surprised of my new laid-back attitude towards exams. When I was younger I would never have been this relaxed the day before an exam. Wow I must be growing or something. But I really need to go get prepared! Like right now :O

I'm such a mess. Sometimes I think I'm subconsciously trying to take procrastination to a new level.
I'm writing my exam project. I've had 3 weeks and have written nothing so far. I have 2 weeks left. I want to kill myself. I have to go now and think up something very clever about people, the internet, learning, modern society and textiles. Although not necessarily in that order. Yes, it's a little vague right now, but I'm confident that if I just drink enough coffee and don't sleep it will sort itself out. Probably. Right..?

Okay, now a random picture to make this post more interesting.

I also have some questions! If anyone wants to answer them I would be really happy ^^ (If you want to see what other people answered, see this post on deviantArt -> forum.deviantart.com/devart/general/1300500/)

1. Do you use the internet to search for information?

2. When looking for information, do you prefer looking on the internet or in books? (Or somewhere else...?)

3. The internet has made it possible for anyone to share their knowledge. Is this a good thing?

4. Do you feel that the large amount of tutorials out there are the response to a demand?

5. How do you feel about the general quality of internet tutorials?

6. Why do you think people make tutorials? (To gain popularity in social environments, out of kindness of their hearts, for financial reasons...?)

7. Have you made a tutorial?
-------- If yes, then what were your reasons for making it?

8. Have you ever been inspired to try something new or do something you normally wouldn't because of a tutorial? (Pick up needlework, build a water cooler for your computer, try GIMP instead of Photoshop...?)

9. What attracts you to a tutorial? (Layout/graphic style, level of difficulty, previous existing interest in the subject...?)

10. Do you think it is easy to find relevant tutorials online?

11. Which kind of tutorial do you prefer? (Visual, text heavy, video, artistic, humorous...?)

Any last words of wisdom?

Lol Threadless.com just made my day XD I was just surfing random sites and came across their slogan t-shirt section. I laughed XD
Here are some of the slogans that cracked me up:

HONK if you are about to run me over.
Boomerangs: They're making a comeback
10 out of 10 people agree: We all agree
To err is human, to arr is pirate            -> (He he)
Global warming: All the cool planets are doing it.
If history repeats itself, I'm totally getting a dinosaur.
Nostalgia was better in the old days.
Actually, medicine is the best medicine.
Resist peer pressure. All the cool kids are doing it.
Forget science, I'm donating my body to magic
I supplement my personality with witty shirts      -> (LOL!)
I 'occasionally' use air quotes.
Life is like a box of terrible analogies.
Organ donor (see inside for details)
Origami turned my pants into this shirt       -> (This one made me squirt coffee out my nose XD)
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like I swallowed a kitten.
Roses are green, violets are yellow, also, I'm colorblind.
The art of conversation is, like, kinda dead and stuff.       -> (Yes! I want this :D)
Rock is dead and paper killed it.
Allow me to explain through interpretive dance
Stop destroying our planet. It's where I keep all my stuff.
Being vague is almost as fun as doing this other thing.      ->(lol lol lol XD XD)

Procrastinators: leaders of tomorrow


These are a lot funnier on the t-shirts, so go check them out -> http://www.typetees.com/

I've bee feeling a little under the weather all through January. It could be the flu or a stomach infection, I don't know. Undefinable symptoms and being constantly tired is no fun.

I've decided to go cold turkey and not eat any sugar for the next 5 days. The plan is that having less sugar coursing through my body will make me healthier and hopefully more energized. Wish me luck (being a complete sugar addict I'm going to need it)! I'm also going to have eggs for breakfast, because eggs are healthy (and yummy!).

Completely unrelated, this is a felt star that I made. A friend of mine says it reminds him of Super Mario Galaxy which sadly I haven't tried yet. I want a Wii!

Yay!

GRYFFINDOR!
